Being Financially Free

Get Rich Without Being A Bitch

In a predominantly male industry, Courtney Dyer, financial expert and podcast host, is on a mission to get women a seat at the financial table. She is passionate about teaching women how to rewrite their money scripts, so they can achieve financial freedom of their own. In today’s episode, Courtney sits down with host Vanessa Shaw to make seemingly complex topics such as personal finances, debt, and investments more approachable.

For example, Courtney explains that investing often seems more complicated than it is due to the abundance of information available. A quick Google search will yield millions of results, each advertising different suggestions about how and where to invest. According to Courtney, most of the information out there is untrue, especially the myth that investing is only for people with money. Investing is an option for anyone, no matter their economic status or educational background! But before you go to open an investment account you must do two things: pay off any high-interest debt and create sustainable spending plans that support both your long-term and short-term goals.

Tune into this week’s episode of Get Rich Without Being a Bitch for a conversation with Courtney about opening more doors to financial representation for women. Learn more about the steps you need to take to invest wisely, how to initiate open conversations about finances with your partner, and how you can enjoy your money both now and in the future!

Quotes

• “Women need more representation and they need to feel heard and to be able to have a seat at the table, and that is my passion and my mission.” (04:36-04:47)

• “Only 10% of our conscious mind interacts with us daily and 90% is subconscious. Our money beliefs are in that 90% subconscious, so you have to work very hard to break those bad cycles.” (06:50- 07:07)

• “Make sure you’re maxing out your retirement accounts that are tax-advantaged. Meaning you contribute the money prior to paying taxes, that way you’re saving money on your taxes and you’re also investing funds. It’s like a double whammy!” (11:46- 11:58)

• “Making sure you have eliminated all high-interest debt prior to investing is really critical because it is going to do you more good to eliminate that debt than investing into the market would.” (15:30- 15:41)

• “We need to enjoy our money now and in the future, and you absolutely can do both.” (24:45-24:49)
