Stop the Drip: Plug Your Spending Leaks
Host: Mindy McCulley, Extension Specialist for Instructional Support, Family and Consumer Sciences Extension, University of Kentucky
Guest: Dr. Nichole Huff, Extension Specialist for Family Finance and Resource Management
Season 9 | Episode 1
Join host Mindy McCulley and guest Dr. Nichole Huff for MoneyWi$e on Talking FACS, as they reveal common ‘‘spending leaks’’—the small, frequent purchases that quietly drain your budget. Topics include tracking bank and credit card statements, identifying auto-subscriptions, specialty coffee and drive-thru costs, delivery and convenience fees, and interest on unpaid balances.
Dr. Huff shares practical steps to find and quantify leaks, simple swaps and behavior changes, family budgeting examples, and how to redirect saved money toward goals like debt repayment or vacations.
Listeners will leave with actionable tips to spot hidden expenses, take immediate steps to reduce wasteful spending, and prioritize what matters most for a healthier financial future.
