As promised, this week on the podcast we interviewed a 74-year-old woman to get her perspective on money, poverty, and building wealth. That 74-year-old woman just so happens to also be my mother.
It’s amazing what you learn about your parents when you sit down and interview them. I highly recommend you give it a try. Not only did my mother share her financial backdrop, but she also opened the curtain and exposed her dealings with money after divorce, generational poverty, and how she shaped her relationship with money.
