New Year, New Finance Resolutions

To kick-off the new year, Melissa joined Global News to share her expert advice on resetting financial habits. This included her own resolution of applying Dry January to her budget. She recommends setting a spending freeze on non-essential items.

“A spending freeze is kind of like a cleanse,” Melissa told Global News. “You’re resetting your habits so that you can figure out what you truly value and maybe start some new habits going forward.”

Melissa’s well-known for her fresh take on money wellness. She made her second appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show in 2021 during beauty week to help viewers “makeover” their finances. She seamlessly integrated the segment’s sponsor, while tackling audience-driven topics like building credit, paying down debt, and saving for retirement.
