  <description>In this episode of the Small Scale Life Podcast, Julie and I discuss taking the first steps towards Financial Freedom.  To do this, you need to start by Taking Inventory and Tracking Expenses.
In previous episodes of the Small Scale Life Podcast, Julie and I have told our story about making mistakes and doing stupid with zeros on it.  In order to break out of the box and go from Survive to Thrive, we needed to change our habits and our mindset.  
To start down this path, you need to get a clear picture of what your net worth looks like.  Are you in the red or in the black?  Do you know?  Julie and I have prepared an inventory worksheet for you, and it is available on the Small Scale Life Resources Page. (https://www.smallscalelife.com/resources/)
Once you complete this exercise, you can begin tracking ALL of your expenses.  You can do this by writing it down in a notebook or using apps like mint.com (https://www.mint.com/).  
For show notes and more information, head on over to the article titled Financial Freedom: Start by Taking Inventory and Tracking Expenses at Small Scale Life.
