Can you afford to make a big life change?

In this episode of Life Kit, host Marielle Segarra interviews Jill Schlesinger, a business analyst and author, about her financial reset framework. Schlesinger outlines a five-step process called the "Fabulous Five" to help individuals evaluate their resources, debts, housing situation, spending habits, and obligations to others when considering a major life change. The framework encourages listeners to crunch the numbers, consider best, worst, and middle-case scenarios, and build a bridge to their desired future by making informed financial decisions. Schlesinger shares her personal experience of transitioning from financial advisor to media and emphasizes the importance of aligning financial choices with personal values and long-term goals.
