Jenn Foster and Melanie Johnson co-owners of Elite Online Publishing, interview Mikelann Valterra about the economy, investment trends, and strategies for managing your money with confidence.
"I hate the word budget, because it's so diety sounding. I'm gonna live on leftovers. But a spending plan is a tool that you design to say, okay, where do I want my money to go? What is the life that I most want to live? And then how do I use money to literally create this life?" (07:56)
"Part of it is the mechanism of when you know, when you're in a whole stop digging. And how do we set up systems from a cash flow point of view so that you don't add debt, and then once people are stabilized, then we look at a lot of the things that I know everyone has heard about, which is, let's look at the interest rates on the cards." (12:31)
"What I think is really interesting about the whole topic of earning your worth is there's a lot that we do control that we can do around earning what we're worth." (16:27)
