Financial Grown-Up Moments

I have a special bonus episode this week to share with you a great new financial resource. Joining me on the podcast to talk about her new book, “How to be a Financial Grownup,” is award-winning journalist and author, Bobbi Rebell. I not only enjoyed chatting with Bobbi about her book, but I also enjoyed the cocktails she created as part of the promotion.

What are we drinking?

Podcast Notes

Bobbi’s book – which is her side hustle – is a mix of crazy money stories from high achievers and advice/action steps you can do.
She chose to ask the contributors just two questions: 1. What their financial grownup moment was & 2. A lesson to share
She admits the book is a journalism experiment gone right.
Bobbi explains the concept she created for saving money when dating called “date stacking” – which is Shannon’s favorite tip!
Shannon often has to advise clients about dealing with finances and friends – which is a chapter in Bobbi’s book.
Bobbi says the biggest shock in the book came from Sallie Krawcheck.
In the book, Drew Barrymore says she had her financial grownup moment at the age of 7.
On Bobbi’s website she has a page called the “Bookshelf” with books she recommends.
Every chapter in the book ends with a checklist that highlights the main points of the chapter.
Shannon’s financial grownup moment came early on when she was 14 and walked into a bagel store with a help wanted sign in the window; she got the job – the 6am to 2pm shift – and declares it is the underlying story of her life.
Bobbi & Shannon agree it’s more fun to have more income than to just cut spending.

TAKEAWAY: Take the time and reflect on whether or not if you’ve had your financial grownup moment and what that says about your financial journey so far!
