Why good debt isn’t bad – Successful women offer their best money tips

Why good debt isn’t bad – Successful women offer their best money tips

Powerful things can happen when we stop and take the time to share our stories. I recently had the honor of sharing the stage at a women investors symposium with three inspiring women: Jean Chatzky, Jeanne Thompson and Cheryl Wilson. They each gave a talk under the theme of “What I Wish I Knew Then,” sharing personal stories from different stages of their lives and careers, and offering tips to women facing similar challenges and opportunities. I learned so much listening to their stories and thought I’d share some of the highlights in the three videos below.

One of my greatest passions is helping other women succeed – both with their careers and their finances – so they can achieve their goals and dreams in life. Everyone’s journey is unique. Whether you’re just starting out in your career or nearing retirement, or somewhere in between, there are small steps you can take with your money now. From paying off college loans, to balancing career and family, to buying your dream car in retirement, watch how these amazing women make it work.
