The Library is Worth More Than You Think - 18

Action Item: Find your local library and go visit it this week. If you don't have a library card, get one. If you already have a card, ask the librarian what services beyond books you can access. Summary In this episode, I break down why the library is one of the most underrated money-saving tools available to young professionals. I share how the library has saved me hundreds of dollars over the years and explain how it offers way more than just books. From digital content and professional equipment to community events and even state park passes. I walk through Sariah's story, a 24-year-old who moved to Madison, Wisconsin for her first job and was spending $400 a month trying to make friends before discovering the library. She cut her social spending from $400 down to $80 while actually building real community. The library can help you save money, build community, and get away from screens, all for free!
