Edit Your Life Episode 24: Edit Your Financial Fears
Money is a hard topic for so many people. There’s fear, there’s baggage, there’s “what the heck is this financial martian speak?” In Episode 24 of Edit Your Life, I interview investment professional (and my college classmate!) Sandra Gilpatrick about how to edit your financial fears. We cover common stumbling blocks, the intersecting issue of fear and time, how to gain financial confidence, favorite financial literacy resources, the three top financial goals to focus on now, and how to find a financial adviser you actually like.
