Millennials & Money with Emily Benedetto

This week I sat down fellow financial planner and Abacus financial advisor Emily Benedetto to talk about decisions millennials make around their money. Though she has always had a penchant for numbers, she took a bit of an interesting route to becoming a CFP but now loves every minute of it. If she had her druthers she'd be living on a farm and working as a farmer/financial planner. She's married, has 5 siblings, love reading, horses, and helping folks systematize their money lives.
