I love how funny this conversation was! Really brought a lot of lightness to a topic that can feel intimidating or taboo to talk about. I love hearing real women share their real life experiences
Interesting mix of perspectives from a newlywed, a single lady, long term wife/mom and a funny divorcee! Great discussion! Wishing everyone all the very best in the quest for love/life/finance balance! It would be nice to have the girls come back to do a Part 2 to see if their views/lives have changed since the original video.
Love the idea that her husband is her accountability partner also! My partner will check in with me because he a tendency to splurge on cars and watches. I don't outright say no, because it's his money, but talking it through helps him refocus and decide if he actually needs/wants what he is buying.
Just had our first major argument about finances and this helped to hear. I definitely need to work on my approach a bit and try to understand where he's coming from
Hey Bola it’s Sean from SMC. Guess what.. guys are watching & learning too😅. The Smart Money Cafe community is watching 👀 so thanks for the knowledge. 👍🏽
The greatest empowerment every woman should have is being empowered financially and mentally. This way you will be at the top of your food chain. Being finally free is one thing every woman should be looking after. I wasn't financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my second house already, earn on a monthly basis via my investment and got 5 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made. Great video! Thanks for sharing! Very inspiring! I love this.
I went through alot of financial crises during my divorce. I had to raise my kids up all alone with no help from anyone. Currently I am living smart and frugal with my money. Bought my second house already. Saving and investing lifestyle made it possible for me.., Till now I earn monthly through passive income. I am planning on retiring when my kids are done with college.
I am a single Dad. Not quite long I started investing. I'm very curious and need help on how to enhance and increase my returns. Any good investment tips would be appreciated.
I recommend the services of Alexandra Diana Jose, a US based financial advisor and consultant. She works with an international organization ,she has been very good to my financial journey as she is providing full & continues support till my financial goals has achieved.Finding a right financial consultant is as important as finding a right life partner, as they both play a make or break circumstances in your life. I am very happy that i have the right financial consultant, it has helped me in achieving my financial goals from education to nearly retirement. .
That’s great , your investment advisor must be really good,I have seen testimonies of people using the help of investment advisors in making them more financial stable. Do you mind sharing more info on this person?
Love these conversations! Inspiring me to talk to my girlfriends and kids about finances. I will definitely be making sure my daughter is financially literate and understands the potential vulnerabilities of joint finances. As someone who had to stay in a bad marriage for far too long because my ex husband controlled all my money, it cannot be overstated how important it is to have your own account that your wages go into.
I like the idea of having joint accounts but each have one separate account for personal spending. And together budget a certain amount per pay period that will be automated to each account.
Yes! The 'our money' mindset of women is purely natural. I personally will only be the breadwinner when single(meaning dating absolutely no man). But to the woman that wants to get married and sees nothing wrong with being the breadwinner whilst there's a fully abled body man in the picture, kudos to her. My money is indeed my money. Great honest video!
Being a breadwinner is so stressful dnt allow yourself to go through that. As a woman you are constantly wondering how to keep the both of you afloat since the man is earning less or for others he has no job. It's such a terrible feeling that can easily lead to resentment.
A seriously great conversation. Amazing video, extremely more helpful than the usual financial content, as it truly shows the different perspectives and its nuances. Thank you!
I find being soft work. You have to have the evidence before going into it. The best thing is a house budget works. Work hard at it and giving it a chance to work.
Good morning, i have a quick question. Due to the care act suspending student loan payments and interests, i decided to still keep making my student payment do that that the payments goes to the principal and reduces my student loan balance greatly for six months. Is this advisable? Besides i already have an emergency account set up with funds in it. Thank you
Great question - as long as you have a cash buffer than you can make payments. I would however suggest expanding your emergency fund since there's a lot of economic uncertainity.
Clever Girl Finance Thank you for your response. I was planning to make 5 payments and put the remaining 1 payment in my emergency account. I appreciate your response
A good strategy is to invest 1-3% of your net worth and track what it does for you firsthand. 1 yr ago when you commented, Bitcoin was at $17,000 per coin and today it is over $63,000 per coin.
