- 0:29Speaker 2: I got a thank you card I got from my
- 0:31Speaker 2: pastor Jenkins and Boston. I dropped in surprised him. He
- 0:35Speaker 2: was doing a real estate conference up in Boston a
- 0:38Speaker 2: couple of weekends ago, a couple of weekends ago, and
- 0:40Speaker 2: he sent a card and he asked me to do an
- 0:42Speaker 2: impromptu speech.
- 0:43Speaker 1: He said, Rishad, you're here, can you talk? Well? You
- 0:45Speaker 1: know I love to talk, so wasn't a hard push.

- 1:56Speaker 1: Carrie Cabernaro, Hi.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Dog, carry, Thank you, Rushan. Great.
- 2:02Speaker 2: We're talking about women on this show today. We're talking
- 2:04Speaker 2: about empowering women, the culture that is out there for women.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Your book, Women and Wealth. Tell us why you wrote
- 2:12Speaker 2: that book, Carrie.
- 2:14Speaker 3: Sure, so, it's actually my second book, but I wanted
- 2:19Speaker 3: to get out all the experiences I've had in my
- 2:23Speaker 3: twenty five years of working with women. My first book
- 2:26Speaker 3: actually came out about a decade ago, and this is
- 2:29Speaker 3: my second book. And also I wanted to I'm older
- 2:32Speaker 3: and wiser, and I wanted to really share my knowledge
- 2:36Speaker 3: with the world and also with my industry. What's really
- 2:40Speaker 3: interesting in my industry. I'm going to give you some
- 2:42Speaker 3: stats that are going to pretty much blow your mind
- 2:45Speaker 3: and probably blow your audience's mind as well, because most
- 2:48Speaker 3: people don't know it, and certainly the world doesn't know it,
- 2:51Speaker 3: and barely my industry knows it. And it's my industry.
- 2:55Speaker 3: So this is why I wrote the book. So by
- 2:58Speaker 3: twenty thirty, women are going to control two thirds of
- 3:02Speaker 3: the nation's wealth, which is thirty trillion dollars with a T,
- 3:08Speaker 3: which is the same as the GDP of the United States.
- 3:11Speaker 3: That's how much wealth is going to be in the
- 3:13Speaker 3: hands of women. And we are five short years away
- 3:16Speaker 3: from that, and we are not ready for it. My industry, unfortunately,
- 3:21Speaker 3: has been built by men for men, and that's okay
- 3:23Speaker 3: because that's who the clients were. But guess what the
- 3:27Speaker 3: clients are changing the future and the future clients of
- 3:31Speaker 3: wealth management are women, and the industry is not ready
- 3:34Speaker 3: for that. So I want to change the trajectory of
- 3:38Speaker 3: the industry to make it female friendly. And that's why
- 3:41Speaker 3: I wrote this book. And then in addition, it also
- 3:44Speaker 3: has jam packed with advice strategies for women to build
- 3:47Speaker 3: wealth as well in the book. So it's all about that.
- 3:52Speaker 2: The messager Scarret. You know your financial planner, now, I'm
- 3:57Speaker 2: sure you know. I want to let people know what
- 4:00Speaker 2: you do in your website and all those good things.
- 4:03Speaker 2: What are some of the hands on strategy and tools
- 4:05Speaker 2: that you promote to your clients that would allow people
- 4:09Speaker 2: to understand what the services that you offer are nationwide
- 4:13Speaker 2: and people should at least consider what you're doing at
- 4:16Speaker 2: your practice.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Sure, Well, you know it's funny when you got on
- 4:20Speaker 3: the call before the first thing you said was the
- 4:23Speaker 3: thank you letter you got talking about dreaming for today.
- 4:28Speaker 3: If you don't dream for today, it won't happen tomorrow. Well,
- 4:31Speaker 3: I say, pretty similar to that, planning today. How can
- 4:35Speaker 3: you get where you're going without a plan if you
- 4:38Speaker 3: fail to plan, if you plan to fail, And it's
- 4:43Speaker 3: the same type of thing planning for today will get
- 4:46Speaker 3: you there tomorrow. So I think everybody on the planet
- 4:52Speaker 3: deserves a financial plan because think about it, if you
- 4:55Speaker 3: don't know what you need to do to get to
- 4:59Speaker 3: your financial freedom goal, whatever that looks like for you,
- 5:03Speaker 3: and everybody's is different because everybody's completely different. So you know,
- 5:07Speaker 3: if ifits you know, retiring at sixty and spending I
- 5:13Speaker 3: don't know, ten thousand dollars a month, and you know,
- 5:17Speaker 3: living in a house in Florida, and you know, having
- 5:21Speaker 3: two cars and going on vacations once a year, whatever
- 5:24Speaker 3: it looks like. Whatever your freedom looks like to you,
- 5:28Speaker 3: whatever that looks like, you have to be able to
- 5:31Speaker 3: know what it takes to get there. So that's where
- 5:35Speaker 3: I come in. So on a what a financial plan
- 5:38Speaker 3: or a certified financial planner does, and let's make aplan.
- 5:41Speaker 3: Dot org is actually where you can find a certified
- 5:44Speaker 3: financial planner. And so what that does is we look
- 5:47Speaker 3: at every single aspect of your financial life. So we
- 5:50Speaker 3: look at risk management, we look at cash flow management,
- 5:54Speaker 3: we look at tax management. Today's tax day, that's one
- 5:57Speaker 3: of our little little spokes. We look at investment planning,
- 6:01Speaker 3: we look at retirement planning, we look at a state planning,
- 6:05Speaker 3: and all of it working together. So it's a complete
- 6:09Speaker 3: circle where you know if you don't know. Let's say,
- 6:12Speaker 3: for example, I see this a lot where somebody does
- 6:15Speaker 3: you know, an insurance something in insurance or risk management
- 6:19Speaker 3: that hurts their either that hurts their cash flow or
- 6:22Speaker 3: hurts their investments, or something that you do in investments
- 6:26Speaker 3: that hurts your taxes, or something that you do in
- 6:28Speaker 3: taxes that hurts your state, or so I see this
- 6:31Speaker 3: all the time, Like I see all this, So when
- 6:34Speaker 3: they're not working in concert or somebody doesn't know how
- 6:37Speaker 3: you're pulling them all together, usually there's mistakes along the way,
- 6:41Speaker 3: and so really you just want to get a roadmap
- 6:45Speaker 3: to create your own financial future of where you want
- 6:47Speaker 3: to go. I mean, everybody on the planet deserves that.
- 6:51Speaker 3: It's funny because I think most people believe that it's
- 6:55Speaker 3: only for the you know, super rich or you know,
- 6:57Speaker 3: but it's not. I don't know where that somehow that
- 7:00Speaker 3: got lost along the way. What happens is wealthy people
- 7:04Speaker 3: hire us because they know how important it is to
- 7:08Speaker 3: preserve and grow and make all the right moves with money.
- 7:12Speaker 3: So it seems like that's what the only people that
- 7:17Speaker 3: we work with. However, the reality is everybody should have one.
- 7:21Speaker 2: Now, you know your last chapter, I think this chapter
- 7:23Speaker 2: twenty and three is about how do you make the
- 7:25Speaker 2: industry female friendly? You know, I grew up with six sisters,
- 7:29Speaker 2: so I grew up around women. And so when you
- 7:32Speaker 2: make that statement like that, you know most people will
- 7:34Speaker 2: push back, go, what do you mean? Are you trying
- 7:36Speaker 2: to say we live in a chauvinistic society? What are
- 7:39Speaker 2: you saying when you say the industry? What is the industry?
- 7:41Speaker 2: First of all, and then making it female friendly?
- 7:45Speaker 3: Sure? So the industry is wealth management. Okay, So if
- 7:49Speaker 3: anybody has ever worked with a certified financial planner or
- 7:53Speaker 3: a financial planner, or an insurance salesperson, or a banker
- 8:00Speaker 3: or a broker or you know, anything related to that,
- 8:05Speaker 3: anything related to either selling products, getting advice, something to
- 8:11Speaker 3: build your wealth whatever that means. Right, So that's a
- 8:15Speaker 3: very large industry. And broker dealers, registered investment advisors, certified
- 8:23Speaker 3: financial planners, that whole that is my industry, that whole
- 8:27Speaker 3: kitten koboodle. Right. So making it female friendly is so
- 8:32Speaker 3: again created by men for men. So there's so many
- 8:36Speaker 3: things that we need to change to make it so
- 8:38Speaker 3: that it's welcoming to women. So Another stat I'll give
- 8:41Speaker 3: you is Harvard Business Review came out with a study
- 8:44Speaker 3: in two thousand and nine saying that financial services industry
- 8:49Speaker 3: is the least sympathetic to women and has the most
- 8:54Speaker 3: to gain if they get it right. So we already
- 8:58Speaker 3: know that they're doing it wrong, and then I have
- 9:01Speaker 3: a million other stats of why they're doing it wrong. So,
- 9:03Speaker 3: for example, when a couple of spouse dies, usually it's
- 9:07Speaker 3: the man, because women have longevity. The women live, by
- 9:12Speaker 3: the way, she doesn't to ten years longer than a man.
- 9:15Speaker 3: You know, she's going to be a widow. You know
- 9:17Speaker 3: she's going to outlive you. It's very rare when it
- 9:20Speaker 3: goes the other way. I say that all the time.
- 9:23Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm going to be living forever and my
- 9:25Speaker 3: husband's going to be gone. And he always gets upset
- 9:28Speaker 3: when I say that, and I'm like, honey, there's just
- 9:30Speaker 3: no way it's going to happen. Plus he's older than
- 9:32Speaker 3: me anyway, so it's kind of funny. But anyway, So
- 9:36Speaker 3: what happens is in a couple when the spouse dies,
- 9:40Speaker 3: which is a man, in most cases, the woman who's
- 9:45Speaker 3: left leaves their financial advisor. Eighty percent of the time,
- 9:49Speaker 3: and that's stat has not changed in decades. So the
- 9:53Speaker 3: reason being is she's not heard, she's ignored, she's you know,
- 9:59Speaker 3: lack of personal connection, poor communication, doesn't feel empowered, feels
- 10:05Speaker 3: lost or pressured or pitched to. So there's like a
- 10:08Speaker 3: million reasons why this happens, and it just keeps happening
- 10:11Speaker 3: over and over. So that's a great stat for me
- 10:15Speaker 3: to say, hey, guys, you're not getting it right. Let's
- 10:19Speaker 3: let's figure out what to do to make it right.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Well, what I hear I talked like this, Carrie.
- 10:23Speaker 2: You know, women making in roads, and one of the
- 10:27Speaker 2: things that the new administration came in was really chop
- 10:31Speaker 2: on DEI. And we know DEI has been a very
- 10:35Speaker 2: strong empowering tool for women.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Now is that.
- 10:40Speaker 2: Part of the bro culture that you're talking about? You know,
- 10:43Speaker 2: this this chopping opportunities for women and not allowing them
- 10:47Speaker 2: to grow when you see people attacking programs like DEI.
- 10:53Speaker 3: Well, so it's so interesting because I get this question
- 10:56Speaker 3: all the time, and in my opinion, this is actually
- 11:01Speaker 3: not a de and I issue, believe it or not,
- 11:04Speaker 3: It is actually a dollars and cents issue because think
- 11:08Speaker 3: about it, what other industry would you say to them,
- 11:12Speaker 3: here is a trillion dollar opportunity and they don't do
- 11:17Speaker 3: anything about it.
- 11:20Speaker 2: Kind of interesting, right, Well, I think I think that
- 11:23Speaker 2: people when they when they're when they're rolling down. Like
- 11:25Speaker 2: for instance, we just came off from the space where
- 11:29Speaker 2: there was an all female space.
- 11:32Speaker 1: I don't know what you call space flight.
- 11:33Speaker 2: They just go up there for a couple of seconds,
- 11:35Speaker 2: they come back down at you.
- 11:37Speaker 1: I don't know what that was. I don't know.
- 11:40Speaker 2: You know, people get nervous. I get nervous I get
- 11:42Speaker 2: on the regular airplane. So I think if I go
- 11:44Speaker 2: out there and I saw what the Earth looked like
- 11:46Speaker 2: on the other side, I think I'd be super nervous
- 11:47Speaker 2: too it, especially if I'm floating. But I think that
- 11:51Speaker 2: we oftentimes on stereotype and glamorizing women, because I would
- 11:56Speaker 2: say this. The one thing I took away from that
- 11:59Speaker 2: was that how the women would just made up, you know,
- 12:04Speaker 2: every every photo they took it seemed like it was glamorized,
- 12:08Speaker 2: where the ones that didn't have all the women were
- 12:11Speaker 2: not so much glamorized, didn't look it looked like they
- 12:13Speaker 2: should be on the cover of Vogue or Essence or
- 12:17Speaker 2: Ale or something like that that I was saying, Uh,
- 12:21Speaker 2: that's interesting how they are approaching this with the with
- 12:24Speaker 2: the female all female crew. Is that the society that
- 12:28Speaker 2: we are living in now that women are gonna always
- 12:30Speaker 2: be even though there are the true You're gonna control
- 12:32Speaker 2: the trillion dollar industry, but stereotypes are gonna keep winning.
- 12:38Speaker 3: Oh I hope not. But but I have to admit
- 12:41Speaker 3: I I am. I looked at those photos. It's funny.
- 12:44Speaker 3: I didn't even notice the makeup on the on the women.
- 12:46Speaker 3: I just noticed the outfits were blue. That's so funny
- 12:49Speaker 3: from from your perspective.
- 12:50Speaker 4: Please don't go anywhere. We'll be right back with more
- 12:54Speaker 4: money Making Conversations Masterclass. Welcome back to the Money Making
- 13:02Speaker 4: Conversations Masterclass, hosted by Rashaan McDonald. Money Making Conversations Masterclass
- 13:08Speaker 4: continues online at Moneymakingconversations dot com and follow money Making
- 13:13Speaker 4: Conversations Masterclass on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
- 13:17Speaker 3: So, as a woman in this in this world who
- 13:21Speaker 3: is a speaker and a writer and you know, entrepreneur,
- 13:25Speaker 3: I have my own business all that, all of that stuff,
- 13:28Speaker 3: I actually do feel I do feel this is like
- 13:30Speaker 3: not in my book, but I do feel pressure to
- 13:33Speaker 3: look attractive with my hair and makeup done, and my
- 13:37Speaker 3: nails done and all, and my lash is done and
- 13:40Speaker 3: all that stuff. So I guess that is still around,
- 13:43Speaker 3: But I feel like that's more of me succumbing to
- 13:47Speaker 3: that I want to look good rather than a stereotype
- 13:50Speaker 3: that I have to look good.
- 13:51Speaker 1: Well, you know that's honest stereotype. Now. You know, women
- 13:55Speaker 1: have been have been.
- 13:58Speaker 2: Hazed on TV by the body shapes, you know, body shamed.
- 14:02Speaker 2: Celebrities have undergone that tremendously because they're on the forefront
- 14:07Speaker 2: of the world. Also, men allowed when they age. It's
- 14:12Speaker 2: called dignified aging. Where women get old they want to like,
- 14:17Speaker 2: can you get somebody younger in there? So there are
- 14:20Speaker 2: so I guess when you say we're not even dealing
- 14:23Speaker 2: with money, women have to deal with this the basic
- 14:26Speaker 2: stereo types of a look. And I'm assuming that when
- 14:30Speaker 2: it comes to dealing with money, the women are also stereotype.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Well can they handle that amount of money or they
- 14:37Speaker 2: qualified to handle that type of money? So you are
- 14:40Speaker 2: financial planner? You certified financial planner, Carrie? How have you
- 14:44Speaker 2: done it for twenty five years? How have you been
- 14:46Speaker 2: able to knock off, you know, open these doors and
- 14:49Speaker 2: be able to let people know that, hey, I'm not
- 14:51Speaker 2: taking this. I am smart, I am an experienced I
- 14:54Speaker 2: am a successful entrepreneur. I run a multi million dollar business.
- 15:00Speaker 3: Right. Well, it's so interesting because so let me tell
- 15:03Speaker 3: you my story of how I got into this, right So,
- 15:07Speaker 3: because it's definitely not a lot of women in my
- 15:11Speaker 3: industry right now, it's about eighty percent men, twenty percent females,
- 15:16Speaker 3: and actually the exact number of females in the certified
- 15:21Speaker 3: financial planners we are twenty three point nine percent. However,
- 15:27Speaker 3: out of those twenty three point nine not all of
- 15:30Speaker 3: them are business owners and you know CEOs and rain
- 15:37Speaker 3: makers and the ones going out getting the clients some
- 15:42Speaker 3: of them, and a lot of them are in the
- 15:44Speaker 3: back office or in support positions or you know, junior
- 15:49Speaker 3: advisors or customer service professionals or teachers or professors and
- 15:56Speaker 3: so not necessarily in the money making part of the business,
- 16:01Speaker 3: right because it's so difficult, and it's so difficult period,
- 16:06Speaker 3: let alone being a woman. It's even like ten times
- 16:10Speaker 3: more difficult doing this profession as a woman. So what's
- 16:14Speaker 3: interesting is I started to like I was raised by
- 16:17Speaker 3: my dad, who was who worked in the in the
- 16:21Speaker 3: finance business he worked. He was a SVP for JP
- 16:24Speaker 3: Morgan Chase, And so I grew up learning about money
- 16:28Speaker 3: like people learn about you know, sports or whatever, and
- 16:32Speaker 3: so I didn't know that people didn't know about money,
- 16:36Speaker 3: and I didn't know that I was a privileged few
- 16:40Speaker 3: to learn about money at a young age and always
- 16:43Speaker 3: talking about money with my family and my dad and
- 16:46Speaker 3: me and my dad went to foreclosure auctions together and
- 16:49Speaker 3: we went to see you know, speakers about money. We
- 16:53Speaker 3: went to see straight straight talk with the Dolans, which
- 16:56Speaker 3: is way back in the day. And my dad to work.
- 17:00Speaker 3: Oh yeah, my dad took me to work before there
- 17:02Speaker 3: was take your daughter to work day, so in the seventies,
- 17:06Speaker 3: and so I just thought it was super cool and
- 17:09Speaker 3: I just loved what he did and I was very
- 17:11Speaker 3: interested in it, and I learned everything about money. So
- 17:13Speaker 3: by the time I was in college, I was you know, balancing,
- 17:16Speaker 3: I was doing my girlfriend's budgets, and I was like
- 17:19Speaker 3: always just doing money stuff for everybody just because I could,
- 17:23Speaker 3: and I knew it and I loved it and it
- 17:25Speaker 3: was really fun. And I didn't even know it was
- 17:27Speaker 3: a profession back then. I literally had no idea and
- 17:30Speaker 3: then I just fell into it and I said, wow,
- 17:34Speaker 3: I can't believe I get paid to do this, like
- 17:36Speaker 3: I would do this for fun because I love it
- 17:38Speaker 3: so much. And then and then I wound up being
- 17:41Speaker 3: very good at it because I love it so much,
- 17:43Speaker 3: because it's my life's passion and work. And then I
- 17:47Speaker 3: just clients just started women because I knew I wanted
- 17:51Speaker 3: to work with women just started to come to me,
- 17:53Speaker 3: and it just started to balloon over time, and everyone
- 17:56Speaker 3: was like, you know, I didn't do the typical mail
- 17:58Speaker 3: things like seminars and playing golf and you know, advertising,
- 18:06Speaker 3: and just I didn't do any of that stuff. I
- 18:08Speaker 3: just helped myself out as a financial advisor for women.
- 18:11Speaker 3: I spoke, I wrote, I did you know TV interviews
- 18:15Speaker 3: and things like that, and I always just put myself
- 18:19Speaker 3: out of who I am, what I believe in that
- 18:22Speaker 3: I believe women should be financially independent, that women should
- 18:25Speaker 3: control their own destiny, that women need money, that money
- 18:29Speaker 3: equals power, and women need more of both. And then
- 18:33Speaker 3: my practice just evolved over time to become this incredible business.
- 18:39Speaker 2: My guess is an award winning certified financial planner professional
- 18:44Speaker 2: for twenty five years of experience. She leads a multi
- 18:47Speaker 2: million dollar financial planning practice where she specializes in empowering
- 18:51Speaker 2: women to overcome financial challenges and increase their financial literacy.
- 18:56Speaker 2: She has a second book out. Her first book was
- 18:58Speaker 2: out ten years ago. She put, now there's a new
- 19:00Speaker 2: book out called Women and Wealth.
- 19:03Speaker 1: Carrie.
- 19:04Speaker 2: In your book, you talk about AI, and you talk
- 19:07Speaker 2: about how there's a description about a man with long hair.
- 19:13Speaker 2: This description comes out and then you do it a
- 19:16Speaker 2: question with AI about a woman with long hair.
- 19:20Speaker 3: Well, no, actually, so what it was was we asked
- 19:23Speaker 3: AI give us a picture of a financial planner, and
- 19:27Speaker 3: they okay, I apologize, and then and no, it's okay.
- 19:30Speaker 3: And then they said and then we said, give us
- 19:32Speaker 3: a picture of a financial planner with long hair, and
- 19:37Speaker 3: they gave us a picture of a man with long hair.
- 19:40Speaker 3: So a woman didn't even come into the into the mix.
- 19:43Speaker 3: How do you like that?
- 19:45Speaker 1: Right? Right? Right right?
- 19:46Speaker 2: And that's what Because you know, I got the book
- 19:48Speaker 2: today and I wanted to make sure I got as
- 19:50Speaker 2: much information in and because you're such a great read,
- 19:53Speaker 2: and because you had me going back flipping page and
- 19:55Speaker 2: four and forth, I was like, this is this book
- 19:58Speaker 2: really captures because it's a journey for you. You talk
- 20:01Speaker 2: about the bread winner, they talk about you talk about
- 20:03Speaker 2: the behavior.
- 20:06Speaker 3: You know.
- 20:06Speaker 2: It's it's a couple of things in your book that
- 20:08Speaker 2: really hit me. It's almost like we're still in the
- 20:12Speaker 2: Leave It to Beaver. If anybody's familiar with that sitcom,
- 20:14Speaker 2: you know what the what the wife comes home, she
- 20:17Speaker 2: has the apron on, and the man comes on, he's
- 20:20Speaker 2: the bread winner. Women are advancing, but they still not
- 20:23Speaker 2: be respected for the advances they are to be made.
- 20:26Speaker 2: Am I correctness saying.
- 20:27Speaker 3: That, Yeah, oh my gosh, you are so and and
- 20:31Speaker 3: and actually one of the things you just exactly touched
- 20:34Speaker 3: on is what's called the generator of the wealth gap, right,
- 20:39Speaker 3: which everybody knows about the pay wage gap that women make,
- 20:42Speaker 3: you know, eighty two cents on the dollar. But the
- 20:44Speaker 3: wealth gap is exactly what you just described, which is
- 20:48Speaker 3: the woman not not having to carry all the burden
- 20:50Speaker 3: at home. So because the woman is out caregiving for
- 20:54Speaker 3: you know, having children, then caregiving for the children, then
- 20:58Speaker 3: taking care of the parents, they call that the good
- 21:00Speaker 3: daughter spouse penalty. And so that all of that over
- 21:05Speaker 3: her lifetime costs her a million dollars.
- 21:10Speaker 2: Mmod No, but what is that perception we hear that.
- 21:16Speaker 1: I have heard that a lot.
- 21:17Speaker 2: I grew up with six erses, okay, my financial planner,
- 21:19Speaker 2: she's female. So I'm very familiar with a lot of
- 21:23Speaker 2: the trappings of negativity or stereotyping that you are saying
- 21:27Speaker 2: on my show today. The average person go, so, what
- 21:30Speaker 2: what's the big deal when you hear that? How do
- 21:34Speaker 2: you respond to those people? Because those are the people
- 21:36Speaker 2: who are not opening their doors. Those are the people
- 21:39Speaker 2: who feel they I like the way things are, Why
- 21:42Speaker 2: did I Why should I change it? I like my personality.
- 21:45Speaker 2: I don't think I'm chaupinistic. What do you say to
- 21:48Speaker 2: that care.
- 21:48Speaker 3: Well, I would say I would say to them, what's
- 21:51Speaker 3: going to happen when you die? And what's going to
- 21:53Speaker 3: happen to your to your wife, m h, you're going
- 21:58Speaker 3: to be okay? Or mom or your daughter? Are you
- 22:04Speaker 3: okay with that? Because I so. The other thing is
- 22:07Speaker 3: that ninety percent of women are going to be responsible
- 22:10Speaker 3: at one point in their life for their own financial future.
- 22:13Speaker 3: So why would they do it? And most of the
- 22:17Speaker 3: time it's when something terrible happens, a death, a divorce,
- 22:22Speaker 3: a disability, a job loss, something terrible that rocks their
- 22:25Speaker 3: world is when I get a call from a female client.
- 22:30Speaker 3: So I always say it's they call me when it's
- 22:32Speaker 3: raining for them, like everything is terrible. I want to
- 22:36Speaker 3: I want it to be that a woman calls me
- 22:38Speaker 3: when when it's sonny out and everything's great, and that's
- 22:42Speaker 3: when they come to me. And honestly, that's when the
- 22:44Speaker 3: guys usually hire a financial planner, but it's not when
- 22:47Speaker 3: the women do. The women are under some sort of
- 22:50Speaker 3: you know, life changing, altering situation where they're completely overwhelmed
- 22:55Speaker 3: and they need help, and that's what usually when they
- 22:57Speaker 3: bring somebody in, but they should really bring it in earlier.
- 23:01Speaker 3: And also I just think that every woman should be
- 23:05Speaker 3: responsible for their own financial literacy and their own financial
- 23:08Speaker 3: future and also teach teach the next generation because that's
- 23:12Speaker 3: how we're going to create wealth over time. And also
- 23:15Speaker 3: the other thing is that wealth just gives you choices
- 23:18Speaker 3: in your life. It gives you choices to do what
- 23:21Speaker 3: you want to do. If you want to work or
- 23:25Speaker 3: take a take a lesser paying job, if you want
- 23:27Speaker 3: to stay home, if you want to work from home,
- 23:29Speaker 3: if you want to you know, buy a second house,
- 23:32Speaker 3: if you you know what kind of car you want
- 23:34Speaker 3: to drive, what you want to all, what church you
- 23:37Speaker 3: want to belong to, Where do you want to live,
- 23:38Speaker 3: what house you want to live in? Like, it's what neighborhood,
- 23:41Speaker 3: It's like, it's everything related to wealth gives you the
- 23:45Speaker 3: choices to make these decisions in your life that you
- 23:49Speaker 3: have control over. You know, there's so many things we
- 23:52Speaker 3: can't control in our lives. It's amazing that if you
- 23:55Speaker 3: have this money, you have all these choices. Right, everybody
- 23:59Speaker 3: should have one. Everybody should have a plan, and everybody
- 24:01Speaker 3: should know where they're going, and everybody should be making
- 24:04Speaker 3: all the right moves with money.
