Bajan Budgeting

I had a Facebook post a few weeks back…you know one of those memories. It was a picture from 10 years ago, broadcasting live on Voice of Barbados 92.9fm with this week’s guest, Sonia Small Als.

If you have ever sort of a car loan in Barbados, a credit card, debt consolidation and or more...you have probably spoken to or at least heard of Sonia.

Who likes to talk openly about their personal finances? Or about our individual budget, spending habits and patterns.

I recently did a small course with the National Transformation Initiative Barbados in personal financial management, to try and gain more knowledge and perspective in an area I feel ignorant in.

It’s legitimately embarrassing to talk openly about our financial misgivings, most of us would prefer to put our heads in the sand. However, the short course taught me, like very thing else, to manage it, you must look in detail at how you really spend every last penny or cent. It’s like facing a fear for some…

The cost of living in Barbados is now really spiraling high, making it challenging for the average person to make ends meet.

After years of working in the financial sector, advising clients and enabling them to reach their financial goals Sonia Small Als joins us to share her knowledge and experience gained over these many years.
