People often criticize others for the way they were brought up. This often diminishes the journey one takes to get to where they are today. In today’s episode you’ll hear Bola Sokunbi’s journey, as she joins Rich and Marcus on the podcast. Bola is the founder of Clever Girl Finance. Clever Girl Finance is a financial education platform aimed at providing women with financial guidance that will inspire them to pursue and achieve their dreams of financial independence. Bola also has the claim to fame of saving 100k in 3 years while living on an average salary. In this episode you’ll hear Bola’s story and learn why her families background motivated her to make the most of her college education and not take for granted any of the opportunities her hard working mother was able to provide for her.

Highlights:

• Don’t take for granted the sacrifices your family makes for you.
• Living lean and saving half of each paycheck.
• The importance of earning extra money through a side hustle.
• Credit card predators on college campuses.
• Teaching young girls to be financially independent as they grow up.
• Doing the best you can with the hand you’re dealt.
• The glorification of the struggle.
• The emotions of money

Key Takeaway: Embrace and appreciate the wins of others, don’t glorify one’s struggle as being worth more or worth less. It doesn’t matter where you’ve been or how you got there, focus on where you’re going today and tomorrow.
