Ensure Your Financial Legacy Stays in the Family: How To Teach Your Kids About Money

Welcome to the Women, Wealth, Impact Podcast and Girlfriend’s Guide to Financial Freedom, Home Ownership and Investing. Does this sound too good to be true? I’m right here as proof that it’s possible. Just a few years ago, I was a single mom living paycheck to paycheck, desperately trying to keep it all together. After learning more about money planning, I saw the amazing potential in my finances and I’ve never looked back. I’ve seen far too many women battling to build a legacy that they can be proud of. And it all comes down to getting your personal finances in check. But for that, you need a growth strategy, which begins with understanding what’s stunting your financial progression. We’ll cover how to start from scratch, and what it takes to get your finances in alignment with your goals. I’m proud of you for taking the initiative to listen. This is going to be your first step. Welcome to the green community. Let’s get started.

At this point, you might be wondering who I am to be dispensing financial advice to you through your headphones. So I thought for this episode, I’d share a bit more about myself, and the reasons I do what I do- my kids.

I’m a proud mother of 2, and I raised them mostly myself after their father died unexpectedly. My oldest daughter came as a surprise when I was still in college, and when I had her I was so young and had no idea about finances or money mindsets. I accumulated a mountain of debt and had to start from scratch.

Not even scratch. Negative scratch. I was doing anything and everything just to get by. Thank god I had invested in my first duplex and was able to rent that out and supplement with temporary gigs and unemployment. I share this with all of you not, for pity- I’m doing just fine now thanks- but to show you that you’re never too far gone to start getting ahead. If I can do it, so can you.
