Financial Freedom Friday ft. Jaricka Thomas: Make Your Money Make Sense

This Financial Freedom Friday, we are pulling up to the corner to make money make sense. I sat down with Jaricka Thomas, a Certified Financial Education Instructor and the founder of Saving Sense, a movement built to empower our communities and heal generational wealth disparities. This is not about fancy words and big letters behind a name. This is about us, our future, and the wealth that has been waiting on us to reach out and grab it. Jaricka keeps it a hundred about paying down about $66,000 in student loan debt, and she breaks down the difference between just saving and actually investing so clearly that it finally clicks. We got into high yield savings, the S&P 500, index funds, IRAs, and the thing that stuck with me the most. Your employer match is free money, and you would never step over $5 laying on the ground, so stop stepping over that match, FAM. We also talked about our community, how we took the Disney trips but never bought the Disney stock, and how generational wealth does not have to be inherited. It can start with you, today. Remember, when you know better, you do better. This episode is the knowing, and the doing is up to us. Tap in now and Listen in: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner.
