The Get Ready Money Podcast
Women Should Feel Empowered With Their Money
On the latest episode of The Get Ready Money Podcast, I spoke with Cary Carbonaro, financial advisor, speaker, author and female advocate about changing the way we think about women and wealth.
In this episode we discussed:
- Women can do money.
- How women can feel comfortable with money.
- Why are there so few women in financial services (only 24% of CFP’s are women).
- Women should look for someone who’s going to guide and teach.
- It doesn’t matter what you make, it’s how much you keep.
- Money is amorphous, it’s what you do with you do with your money that counts.
