Long gone are the days where we put our financial wellbeing into someone else’s hands.

Not only do most financial advisors prefer working with individuals who already have wealth built, but sole responsibility for our financial situation lies within ourselves.

Each of us must take ownership of our situation and work to make positive changes in it. This is even more important for women.

Personal finance planning isn’t always an easy topic to discuss, but it’s a necessity.

That’s why I’m so excited to welcome Mabel Nunez of Girls on the Money to the show today.

Mabel and I are discussing how women can start preparing for their financial future and build wealth through investing.

Mabel also gives insight into how she started investing and how one class changed the overall trajectory of her life.

If you’ve been holding off on investing, Mabel’s insight will encourage you to finally dive in and get started. Your future self will thank you!

Here's a glance at this episode:

• [04:05] Mabel shares that no one ever talked to her about investing, so when she took a class to learn more, the trajectory of her life changed.
• [12:25] Emergencies don’t announce that they’re coming. Mabel shares the importance of having a savings account dedicated to emergencies.
• [18:00] Don’t overthink getting started with investing. Mabel discusses hurdles that could stop someone from investing.
• [27:54] If you’re a long-term investor, you can expect your money to grow and compound by 10% per year. There’s no better return.
• [41:12] If you’re buying quality company stock, your portfolio will bounce back. That means you’ll want to be careful with how you react to dips.
