You have an emergency fund, you are investing in a 401(k) or other type of retirement account and you have some savings. Now what? For this week's episode we brought back Financial Coach and Founder of Common Wealth Coaching, Lesley Chen-Young (now Ihionkhan because Lesley got married whoop whoop), for another insightful conversation on personal finance. Once you have the basics of how to manage your money down, that's when the real fun begins and you can start dreaming big. Lesley and Thamina are talking about aligning your financial goals with your personal values, the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement and whether real estate is a feasible investment option for young adults in their 20s. Additionally, we are addressing the super scary biological reality of thinking about the financial implications of starting a family one day. Thamina and Lesley also share some tips on how to live below your means and live off only 60-70% of your salary.
