Episode Synopsis

In the very first episode of Making Sense of Money, presented by P1FCU, we’re tackling a challenge many face after the holidays—managing debt. We sit down with Kylie, a leader from our lending team and a new mom, to talk about how becoming a parent shifts holiday spending priorities. It’s all about creating meaningful memories, not just filling the space under the tree.

Kylie shares real-life strategies for staying on top of holiday budgets, like starting a Christmas cash envelope early in the year to reduce financial stress. We also break down smart ways to tackle debt—focusing on high-interest loans first—and the ups and downs of budgeting as a parent. Plus, Kylie offers practical tips for overcoming the fear of debt and building financial confidence.
