Some key takeaways from this episode include: It’s so important for everyone - especially women - to understand their financial situation and have a plan for being financially independent. It’s crucial to understand the finances of your household and make empowered decisions about them. Discuss with your partner how you’ll spend and save your money. Everyone is bringing a different money story and goals to the table, but it’s important to get aligned on that before you get married, or as soon as possible if you’re already married. When it comes to finding an attorney or a financial advisor, you need to find someone who you feel truly understands you. If the first person you talk to isn’t a good fit, don’t get discouraged. Keep looking until you find the right professional to help you towards your goals.
