Nate’s Notes 230: Take Back Your Financial Power | Steph Wagner

Thanks for listening to this episode of Meikles & Dimes. When Steph went through her horrific divorce, she realized that she had abdicated her personal financial independence, even though she was a sophisticated corporate finance professional.

Even if we’re in a partnership, we can be proactive in taking responsibility for our finances. That includes addressing the emotional and psychological aspects of money matters. Communicating openly about personal finance. Using frameworks that help us achieve our goals. And starting now, because time is our greatest ally.

Given that many of us will be navigating life alone at some point, we should all be proactive in taking responsibility for our finances. And Steph has shown us how.

It’s a simple idea. Please take it seriously.
