Financial education and other random commentary

She/her.
If you're going to ask people questions about their finances, be prepared to answer the same questions.

IE If you ask your sibling what they’re willing to spend on a family trip or your SO what they are willing/able to spend on housing if you move in together, expect to be asked the same in return.

Starting a conversation about finances with family, friends or your SO this holiday season?

You don’t have to jump into the nitty gritty right away. Try to get a general sense of the current state of affairs and/or goals for the future.

Details can wait for follow up conversations.

*You want to be sure you are equipped to handle your finances
*You’re worried that a lack of knowledge will make you - or those around you - an easy target for fraud

#TalkAboutMoney !
Looking to have some end of year conversations about money? Don’t be afraid!

Taboos around talking about money keep salaries down, bolster the gender wage gap and prohibit you from fully utilizing your resources!

No more.

Starting conversations about money with important people in your life?

Try bringing up the conversation casually then ask to discuss it in more depth at a planned time.

No one likes an ambush.

Just a friendly holiday month reminder that gift cards can easily be drained by scammers.

Money sent by Venmo, Zelle, etc is still a great gift!

Also there’s an old-fashioned thing called cash.

Getting new tech this holiday season? Don’t forget to fully wipe the old unit before recycling/donating/gifting/trashing it.

It’s old advice, I know.

But there are new (and old) ways for people to use this information to scam or mess with you.

I was reminded today of how in 2020 I had to cut my family’s turkey in half because we were so few people. Very grateful to not be doing that right now #givethanks

Me all day, thinking about what to write on here
One day I'll write something without the nagging voice in the back of my head going, "What makes you think YOU have the right to write this?"
