17: Build Wealth: Real Talk About Money

I think it’s time for some real talk. Some ‘if you were sitting across from me’ girl talk. I am going to dump some truths on you today that I normally pussy foot around. Truths that are cloaked in ‘I would like to suggest’ or ‘maybe it’s time’. Only right now I am moving from suggestions to ‘oh my gosh girl…what are you waiting for’ truths. What am I talking about? I am talking about money. Not budgets or spending habits but money. Real money. Money that you have and money you wish you have. So hang on - here we go! In this episode I chat about: - All the ladies I met who were living below the poverty line after a divorce or becoming a widow. - How those shoes you are buying, your Target runs, and new sofa will not put help you when you are older like me and want to retire. - It’s time to pay attention to your money now…before it’s too late. - I ask you the same questions I asked my ladies when I was a budget counselor. - How you need to KNOW where your money is going, if it’s invested and with who, how much is being saved, how much is being set aside for retirement. - It’s time to stop making excuses for your lack of financial interest.   Links mentioned in this episode: - Online budget system that takes the guesswork out of budgeting:  You Need a Budget (YNAB) - Download: My Financial Life - Put the joy back in your life: Joyful Living Quickstart Guide  - Stay in the loop: Aging Gracefully Newsletter - Get the Transcript: #17 Podcast Transcript   Let’s be Instagram friends: https://www.instagram.com/positively.jane/   Join the PJ Facebook Group: https://positivelyjane.net/PJ-Facebook   Positively Jane Website: https://www.PositivelyJane.net
