  <description>&lt;p&gt;Navigating your finances can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to tracking the right numbers. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In today’s episode of the Money Mindset Podcast, we’re breaking down the essential numbers you should be keeping tabs on in the new year. Feeling confused about where to start? Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tune in as we unravel the mystery of financial tracking and share practical insights to kickstart your journey to financial success.&lt;/p&gt;

Hey, I’m Ashley Patrick, a personal finance expert and founder of Budgets Made Easy. I help busy moms create systems to save money and pay off debt so they can reach their big dreams faster and easier. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I was able to pay off $45,000 in just 17 months including $25,000 in student loans in just 10 months. I’m a Master Financial Coach and have a bachelor's degree in psychology and will help you get to the root of your money problems. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since my journey started I have been featured on Fox Business, Yahoo! Finance, Food Network, USA TODAY, MSN, CNBC, NerdWallet, and many others.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Some numbers that you should just in general be tracking is eating out and specifically going through the drive through. So if you're like me, it can be a very bad habit. We need to start tracking it 'cause that is where the mindfulness comes in because you know, 10 bucks here, 20 bucks there, it adds up, especially if you're doing it almost daily, right?”&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br&gt;
