Balancing Culture, Personalities & Literacy around Money with Lisa Severing
Episode 82 - May 19th, 2022
How do we feel about money? What is our normal with financial literacy?
In this conversation, we look at the connection between sociology and finance: looking back at the influences of upbringing, culture, personalities and access to literacy around money. Lisa Severing and I use our stories to explore the bigger picture of how we manage ourselves with saving, spending, investing and debt. Listen to hear all about Meghan’s squirrel-ness (functional and not so functional), and great finance tips for everyone.
Lisa says, managing money is not magic, it is a skill to be learned and everyone can do it!
