Money Matters Episode 346- The Working Budget: Budgeting, Kaizen, and Better Money Habits W/Jabez Roberts
In this episode of Money Matters, Chris Hensley welcomes Jabez Roberts, host of The Working Budget and The Boardroom Podcast.
Jabez shares the story behind launching The Working Budget, a new podcast focused on practical financial education, money management, and helping everyday people understand how money moves through their personal economy.
Chris and Jabez discuss the connection between Kaizen and compound interest, showing how small, consistent improvements can create meaningful long-term growth. They also explore why budgeting is often misunderstood, why money decisions are emotional, and how a working budget can help people prepare for emergencies, save for the future, and spend with more intention.
Jabez also shares the books that shaped his view of money, including The Richest Man in Babylon, Rich Dad Poor Dad, and One Up On Wall Street. The conversation touches on entrepreneurship, stewardship, financial education, and Jabez’s mission to build a media-first education platform for Caribbean nationals and beyond.
Whether you are new to budgeting or looking to improve your financial habits, this episode offers a practical reminder: budgeting is not about restriction. It is about creating a roadmap for your money and your future self.
