Episode Summary:
As we kickoff financial literacy month, I’m doing a REWIND episode before we start the Confident Money Series, next week. I didn’t record this week, because my heart is telling me that I can grieve and mourn even for someone I don’t know personally. My husband and I were just at the store where Nipsey Hussle was shot. As someone who grew up in that area, it’s just heartbreaking.
I will be sharing specific tips for the upcoming Confident Money Series. In this episode, I set the tone by going back to why faith cannot be your financial crutch. It will be a great foundation as we get into the Confident Money Series.

CLIFF NOTES
- Many of us have been raised to believe that money is bad or being poor is more noble. This can create conflicting beliefs.
- We can’t just be irresponsible with our financial lives, and then just pray for things to get better.
- There is a personal responsibility that comes with personal finance. Some things you just need to do.
- We can’t pray our way out of financial problems and predicaments. We should pray before we get into those predicaments.
- You have to know your own numbers. We are all responsible for what goes in and what goes out.
- You need to accept help when needed. Sometimes you need the help of someone else to get to what’s next for you.
- Nurture what you do know. Words are powerful. You should wake up knowing that you are ready to manage your money and manage it well.
