Ep. 45 | My Two Cents

from et cetera with Bouge & Rouge

The most popular topic, money! Today's episode is a bit longer as it's one of the most important topics I've wanted to talk about. Money is both a tool and a weapon depending on the person behind it. This episode is split into two parts. In part one, I talk about how I recovered at 25 from living lavishly paycheck to paycheck keeping up with the Joneses and faking it till I made it to a certain income bracket. Please note that I am not a financial advisor or in the field! I am merely sharing what I did to build my wealth to a point where I can be comfortable, but by no means wealth and flush with moolah. Part two discusses managing interpersonal relationships when money is involved. I talk about the root causes of friendship and relationship breakups and how to avoid letting money break apart your community. I discuss the biggest mistakes you can make when talking about money and how society needs to change the way they view certain genders when it comes to finances.
