Finding Your Financial Finesse through Money Management and Investment Strategies

Original Air Date Wednesday, July 28, 2021

Financial fitness is different for all of us as we all have different needs and dreams. The concern we feel about having sufficient money to meet our needs or fulfill our dreams can be emotionally taxing. Partner that with the absence of a financial education and it becomes a profit-driven boon for predatory financial institutions. Understanding the basics of investing, which companies have an honest track record, and how to get out of debt can be life-changing for many.

To better understand the psychological effects of how finances affect our lives and relationships, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two investors/authors about how they overcame their early beliefs about what their financial outlook could be.

Danielle Town describes how she overcame her emotional trauma surrounding money as detailed in her book, Invested: How Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger Taught Me to Master My Mind, My Emotions, and My Money (with a Little Help from My Dad).

And, Ramit Sethie discusses strategies on how to grow what you already have from the second edition of his book, I Will Teach You to Be Rich.
