Welcome to the wealth and wellness podcast with
Kalee Boisvert:me Kaylie Bob air, I specialize in helping people to achieve
Kalee Boisvert:their financial goals. I have a love for all things numbers, and
Kalee Boisvert:I'm passionate about financial literacy. My goal is to spark
Kalee Boisvert:healthy and positive conversations around wealth and
Kalee Boisvert:investment, and create a world where nobody is limited by their
Kalee Boisvert:financial situation. But wealth is just one piece of the
Kalee Boisvert:equation of living our best lives. So join me as we explore
Kalee Boisvert:both wealth and wellness topics. From your net worth to your self
Kalee Boisvert:worth. Get ready to take confident action. Hello, this is
Kalee Boisvert:Kaylee. And thank you so much for listening to this episode of
Kalee Boisvert:the wealth and wellness podcast. Since this episode is going to
Kalee Boisvert:air shortly after Valentine's Day, I thought it would be great
Kalee Boisvert:to stick with the love theme and talk about falling in love with
Kalee Boisvert:your money. So I'm not the relationship expert by any
Kalee Boisvert:means. But relationship with your money. I can talk about
Kalee Boisvert:that all day. Okay, so love, love is wonderful. We love love,
Kalee Boisvert:right? Love is great. And I find, though that people have
Kalee Boisvert:such mixed emotions when it comes to money. A lot of the
Kalee Boisvert:times, it can be more in the realm of negative emotions that
Kalee Boisvert:people have about their money. So feeling things like, you
Kalee Boisvert:know, there's never enough money is a source of stress, maybe
Kalee Boisvert:feeling insecure about where you are where you stand with your
Kalee Boisvert:finances, having more of a lack mentality or a scarcity mindset.
Kalee Boisvert:So there is often you know, a lot of negative emotions that
Kalee Boisvert:come out that people have and hold about money. Well, if money
Kalee Boisvert:is actually just energy, which, you know, from a lot of the the
Kalee Boisvert:personal growth books and personal development books that
Kalee Boisvert:I read they, they remind us about the power of energy and
Kalee Boisvert:how money as many other things, money is just energy. So if
Kalee Boisvert:we're to have negative thoughts and feelings towards money, it's
Kalee Boisvert:not gonna serve you. And it may actually lead to a self
Kalee Boisvert:fulfilling prophecy of attracting more of what you
Kalee Boisvert:don't want. So if we're having this lack this scarcity mindset,
Kalee Boisvert:we're stressed about money. Well, that's what's taking up
Kalee Boisvert:our thoughts. When it comes to money, we can end up attracting
Kalee Boisvert:more of that or stay really in that realm instead of being more
Kalee Boisvert:in the positive. So no one, you know, the negative stuff that
Kalee Boisvert:doesn't sound like fun, that's not exciting. So let's shift
Kalee Boisvert:that energy and move it around being positive instead. So let's
Kalee Boisvert:have a positive energy around money. And in this positive
Kalee Boisvert:energy around money, let's take it even one step further and
Kalee Boisvert:say, why not fall in love with your money even? Okay,
Kalee Boisvert:hopefully, I'm not going on too much of a stretch right now. So
Kalee Boisvert:you might say, okay, sure, let's fall in love with our money. Now
Kalee Boisvert:what? So the first step that you need to take to actually give is
Kalee Boisvert:to actually give yourself permission to fall in love with
Kalee Boisvert:your money. So give yourself permission to love your money,
Kalee Boisvert:that's going to be the key to starting this That's step one.
Kalee Boisvert:Way to often, and especially I you know, I hate to like always
Kalee Boisvert:say things, gender, comments about how it's different for men
Kalee Boisvert:or women. But I see this more so in women, that the thought of
Kalee Boisvert:loving your money, they fear could come off as being seen as
Kalee Boisvert:selfish, greedy, materialistic, as women were really given the
Kalee Boisvert:message that it's not as acceptable to express a desire
Kalee Boisvert:to want money.
Kalee Boisvert:How often when you hear a woman specifically, how often do we
Kalee Boisvert:even hear women specifically talking about wanting a lot of
Kalee Boisvert:money wanting to be a millionaire, you know, women
Kalee Boisvert:negotiating women asking for raises. It doesn't happen as
Kalee Boisvert:much as it does for men. So when men are talking about money, we
Kalee Boisvert:often see that as you know, that they're, they're ambitious. And
Kalee Boisvert:for women, it's then coming across as more negative so
Kalee Boisvert:wanting more money or wanting to have money in abundance for
Kalee Boisvert:women that's often seen as you know, people are almost
Kalee Boisvert:judgmental of that versus in a men man's case. It's usually
Kalee Boisvert:seen as like, that's fabulous. That's ambitious. He's out
Kalee Boisvert:there, you know, me earning for his family and whatnot. And I
Kalee Boisvert:know this is not always the case. And I'm not trying To make
Kalee Boisvert:like sweeping generalizations, but it still happens. I know, as
Kalee Boisvert:a woman, I'm not comfortable just going out, necessarily and
Kalee Boisvert:saying, you know, I love money and just shouting, I love money
Kalee Boisvert:and, and feeling okay with that. And, and again, so it's, it's
Kalee Boisvert:it's different and for everyone's experiences, probably
Kalee Boisvert:very different but I just want to stress that I think from a
Kalee Boisvert:female experience, it just, it's maybe more so that there is some
Kalee Boisvert:insecurities or some fears about expressing that even if we're
Kalee Boisvert:looking like for women looking at money in how they relate to
Kalee Boisvert:relationships, and when women are talking about their ideal
Kalee Boisvert:partner, they're often afraid to even address the money topic
Kalee Boisvert:because they're, they're scared of being judged, there's, you
Kalee Boisvert:know, throwing out words, someone's throwing out words of
Kalee Boisvert:saying like you're a gold digger than if you're looking for a man
Kalee Boisvert:that has money. And there's nothing wrong with wanting to
Kalee Boisvert:find a man that has, you know, abundance and a good money vibe,
Kalee Boisvert:especially if you're wanting to bring that to the table as well,
Kalee Boisvert:that Positive Money, Money energy. But unfortunately, we
Kalee Boisvert:feel the need that we have to like skirt around the topic of
Kalee Boisvert:wanting that to win our partner, because you don't want to come
Kalee Boisvert:off. As you know, I'm just interested in someone's money,
Kalee Boisvert:or I'm a gold digger. And again, it comes to this judgemental
Kalee Boisvert:factor of what we maybe are thinking that, you know, society
Kalee Boisvert:might think and, and you see it in social media and things like
Kalee Boisvert:that, of of that that actually happening to women. So I think
Kalee Boisvert:it's important to declare to all the listeners, you men and
Kalee Boisvert:women, it's okay to love money. And it's okay to want to find a
Kalee Boisvert:partner, if you are single, and you know, wanting to find a
Kalee Boisvert:partner that has similar Positive Money, energy, these
Kalee Boisvert:are all okay, things to want, and to desire. Because if we
Kalee Boisvert:think of money as energy, if we love it, we can only attract
Kalee Boisvert:more of it into our lives. Okay, so money. And it's okay to love
Kalee Boisvert:it like money. Again, if it's just energy, it's just energy.
Kalee Boisvert:And it's, and what money allows us to do is really, you know,
Kalee Boisvert:the power of it. And basically, you know, the joy and whatnot
Kalee Boisvert:that comes of money. So, money affords us the ability to live
Kalee Boisvert:our dreams and experience some of our most memorable moments.
Kalee Boisvert:So there's nothing wrong with loving money. Okay, so nothing
Kalee Boisvert:wrong with it, men and women, it's okay to love money. And
Kalee Boisvert:it's a good energy to have as positive as Positive Money,
Kalee Boisvert:vibe. Money allows freedom and flexibility. You know, it gives
Kalee Boisvert:you opportunity to go where you want to go do what you want to
Kalee Boisvert:do. And if you look down upon wealth as greedy or
Kalee Boisvert:materialistic, well, the how do you expect to build it and
Kalee Boisvert:welcome it into your own life and more of into your own life.
Kalee Boisvert:So take some time to closely monitor to, again, if that
Kalee Boisvert:judging is coming up for you. That's something to just reflect
Kalee Boisvert:on. So what comes up for you around money and abundance?
Kalee Boisvert:When you like when you see others, so maybe you see someone
Kalee Boisvert:driving like a spate of fancy sports car, or someone with a
Kalee Boisvert:designer bag. And you maybe what you have done in the past is you
Kalee Boisvert:go through it straight to judgment. And you know, say
Kalee Boisvert:yourself, Well, why would they spend so much to buy that
Kalee Boisvert:material item? Well, instead, why don't you see this as a
Kalee Boisvert:visual reminder, that abundance is out there, and it's available
Kalee Boisvert:to everyone. So see these as your just visual clue cues of,
Kalee Boisvert:you know, money and love loving money and the energy of money,
Kalee Boisvert:and it's out there. And it's available for us all. So again,
Kalee Boisvert:it's that it's a great reminder. So see it as a moment to just
Kalee Boisvert:reflect and be like, Hmm, this is a good reminder that money is
Kalee Boisvert:available to me, abundance is available to me, I can have a
Kalee Boisvert:loving energy with money. Okay, so that was about giving
Kalee Boisvert:yourself permission. So you have to first obviously give yourself
Kalee Boisvert:permission to fall in love. But part of that giving yourself
Kalee Boisvert:permission. I'm part of what might be holding you back to
Kalee Boisvert:embracing and really, you know, fully diving into that allowing
Kalee Boisvert:yourself too to be in this. This loving energy with money is
Kalee Boisvert:holding on to fears and maybe being stuck in money mistakes
Kalee Boisvert:that you might be carrying with you. So what I've witnessed from
Kalee Boisvert:many people that I've met with and talk to you about money is
Kalee Boisvert:that money mistakes can actually be debilitating in people's
Kalee Boisvert:lives, and the impact it has on their current relationship with
Kalee Boisvert:money. I've met with people who have you know, for instance,
Kalee Boisvert:just sad On the sidelines with cash and did no investing, or
Kalee Boisvert:put their money to work at all. So really, they're missing out
Kalee Boisvert:on even outpacing inflation, it's almost that, you know, put
Kalee Boisvert:your money on your mattress, and you're actually losing money for
Kalee Boisvert:B from it being eroded away by inflation. But they, they do
Kalee Boisvert:that because of maybe something that happened to them. In the
Kalee Boisvert:past that they see as like a money mistake, maybe they had a
Kalee Boisvert:poor investment, and they lost some money. And now from that
Kalee Boisvert:point on, they're, they're completely just okay, I can't do
Kalee Boisvert:anything. With money, I need to just have it sit in cash. And I
Kalee Boisvert:don't want to do you know, absolutely anything. And, you
Kalee Boisvert:know, there's a lot of options when it comes to investing. And
Kalee Boisvert:there are some low risk options that might be suitable. So you
Kalee Boisvert:are missing out on some opportunity from being sort of
Kalee Boisvert:stuck in that fear from a negative experience. And it
Kalee Boisvert:doesn't even have to be mistakes that are of people's own doing.
Kalee Boisvert:So I've seen it even for, you know, people hearing about
Kalee Boisvert:something that happened to someone they know, that has
Kalee Boisvert:impacted their relationship. For instance, like people invoice
Kalee Boisvert:avoiding investing altogether, because, you know, their parents
Kalee Boisvert:lost money on poor investment. And they remembered hearing
Kalee Boisvert:about that. And so it never actually happened to them, but
Kalee Boisvert:just based on the situation happening to a loved one, then
Kalee Boisvert:they're completely okay, I'm not going to do anything, I'm going
Kalee Boisvert:to, you know, take a step back, and I am not going to address
Kalee Boisvert:this, I'm not going to do any sort of investing and, and
Kalee Boisvert:growing and again, not working your favor, because obviously,
Kalee Boisvert:inflation is going to start to work away at that purchasing
Kalee Boisvert:power. So
Kalee Boisvert:just like if you're single and looking to find a partner.
Kalee Boisvert:Again, I'm not the relationship expert here. But part of giving
Kalee Boisvert:yourself permission to fall in love is allowing room for the
Kalee Boisvert:true possibility of love. So it's not holding on to past
Kalee Boisvert:experiences and letting those holds you back. Because that can
Kalee Boisvert:also be debilitating. If you had a poor relationship experience,
Kalee Boisvert:you and you're sort of stuck in that experience in holding on to
Kalee Boisvert:that you're not going to be as open to putting yourself out
Kalee Boisvert:there and, and the possibilities that you know, there is love for
Kalee Boisvert:you. And there is your perfect partner out there. And to be
Kalee Boisvert:open to that. So again, if you're stuck in those past
Kalee Boisvert:experiences, you could be kind of closing yourself off to that.
Kalee Boisvert:So not holding on to past experiences, just like in your
Kalee Boisvert:dating life relates with your money. Same is true with your
Kalee Boisvert:money. So don't let where you've been in the past with your
Kalee Boisvert:money, keep you from embracing the possibility of loving your
Kalee Boisvert:money. If it's a past mistake that has you stuck, well, then
Kalee Boisvert:it's time to forgive yourself and move forward. And also to
Kalee Boisvert:time to replace the word mistake with lesson. Because the lessons
Kalee Boisvert:is a much better way of looking at it. And lessons are so
Kalee Boisvert:powerful. They can be our greatest gifts from the
Kalee Boisvert:knowledge and the insight we gained from lessons. So let all
Kalee Boisvert:that money baggage that you might have been letting you know
Kalee Boisvert:hold you back, let go of it. Let's let go of the money
Kalee Boisvert:baggage. So say bye bye, goodbye. And thank you for the
Kalee Boisvert:lessons. So be grateful for the lessons that you've learned
Kalee Boisvert:about money. And then move forward and give yourself
Kalee Boisvert:permission to fall in love with money. Yay. So we're falling in
Kalee Boisvert:love feels good. Now that you've given yourself permission to
Kalee Boisvert:love money, you might say okay, what comes next? Well, how do
Kalee Boisvert:you maintain a loving relationship in your personal
Kalee Boisvert:life? Think about that. How have you maintained loving
Kalee Boisvert:relationships? One of the things I'm sure is that you have to
Kalee Boisvert:that you have found I'm sure in your own loving relationships as
Kalee Boisvert:you have to give them time and attention. You know, we don't
Kalee Boisvert:show our love for someone else by completely ignoring them. Do
Kalee Boisvert:we like is that a loving relationship? Just completely
Kalee Boisvert:ignoring someone? And you know them getting none of our
Kalee Boisvert:attention? None of our time? No? Heck no. We spend time with
Kalee Boisvert:loved ones we do nice things we maintain the loving
Kalee Boisvert:communication. So there there's an effort put in there's a
Kalee Boisvert:tension there's time given and the same is true for your money.
Kalee Boisvert:So again, think of loving relationships. Just use the same
Kalee Boisvert:with money, love money.
Kalee Boisvert:So if you want to show love to your money, you cannot let it go
Kalee Boisvert:completely ignored. It deserves your time and attention too. And
Kalee Boisvert:too often people avoid money and money topics altogether. And
Kalee Boisvert:that's not an a positive approach to money. So if we're
Kalee Boisvert:thinking, let's take a positive approach, let's be in a positive
Kalee Boisvert:energy around money while avoiding it and not even just
Kalee Boisvert:discussing it or thinking about it. That's not a positive
Kalee Boisvert:approach at all. So you devote hours of your time to making
Kalee Boisvert:money. We spent hours and hours and hours, I'm assuming in your
Kalee Boisvert:career, in whatever it is you do if you're an entrepreneur and
Kalee Boisvert:your business, but how much time? Do you spend all that time
Kalee Boisvert:earning money? You spend lots of time, the majority of our time,
Kalee Boisvert:I would say, for most people in your working years is spent at
Kalee Boisvert:your job making money. But how much time do you actually give
Kalee Boisvert:back to your money? By paying attention to it by giving it an
Kalee Boisvert:opportunity to thrive? As you would someone you love? So how
Kalee Boisvert:can we show? How can we give our money time and attention and
Kalee Boisvert:show it some more love? Well, some ideas are, spend some time
Kalee Boisvert:getting to know your money. So how do we spend time gauging
Kalee Boisvert:your money while understanding how much money you have. So a
Kalee Boisvert:great tool for that is your net worth statement. And I talk
Kalee Boisvert:about that a lot on this podcast. So I'm sure there's a
Kalee Boisvert:past episode where I go into a little bit more detail on how to
Kalee Boisvert:create your net worth statement. Knowing how much money you
Kalee Boisvert:spent, and how much you earn, so that tracking kind of having an
Kalee Boisvert:idea of your budget, that's a great exercise for getting to
Kalee Boisvert:know your money. Another way of giving money, time and attention
Kalee Boisvert:is communicating about it with your partner. So if you are in a
Kalee Boisvert:scenario, where you're, you know, married common law, you're
Kalee Boisvert:with a partner, having conversations about money is so
Kalee Boisvert:important. So you know, you know where the other person stands,
Kalee Boisvert:that you're on the same page with your goals and things like
Kalee Boisvert:that. That's so important. So communicating about money, if
Kalee Boisvert:you're in a situation where there is a partner, and money's,
Kalee Boisvert:obviously, then a topic of conversation for you both to
Kalee Boisvert:communicate about. How else can we give our money, time and
Kalee Boisvert:attention, we can go plan, we can get really specific on what
Kalee Boisvert:our dreams or desires are for our money. You can support your
Kalee Boisvert:money to grow and work for you by investing. And there's a lot
Kalee Boisvert:of different options when it comes to investing that cater to
Kalee Boisvert:your unique needs, and your comfort level for risk and all
Kalee Boisvert:that you can spend time learning more about money. So how can we
Kalee Boisvert:do that we can listen to podcasts like this one, you can
Kalee Boisvert:read articles about money, you can read personal finance books,
Kalee Boisvert:you can take a course, basically,
Kalee Boisvert:anything that relates to spending time working on your
Kalee Boisvert:money is showing it love. So giving it time giving an
Kalee Boisvert:attention that you know checks the box for this recommendation
Kalee Boisvert:of showing it some love. So now what else is essential for a
Kalee Boisvert:healthy and loving relationship with your money. So we've given
Kalee Boisvert:ourselves permission to fall in love or giving it time and
Kalee Boisvert:attention, what else needs to happen? Well, you have to still
Kalee Boisvert:prioritize it and take some action to write it. It also
Kalee Boisvert:takes action. Again, you cannot just ignore it. But you have to
Kalee Boisvert:be on top of paying attention and do things that are going to
Kalee Boisvert:help it thrive and grow. So how do we help money grow? Well,
Kalee Boisvert:first, you can't give it all away. So you have to keep some
Kalee Boisvert:of your money for you. And so what am I alluding to, of
Kalee Boisvert:course, saving money, so you have to save some saving just
Kalee Boisvert:means more money for you. It shouldn't feel restrictive. It's
Kalee Boisvert:about actually empowering you and freeing you. Because when
Kalee Boisvert:you save money, again, it's for you. It's not for anyone else,
Kalee Boisvert:you save money, it's your money. So saving is vital to building
Kalee Boisvert:wealth. And so that's why saving is such an important step in
Kalee Boisvert:this that if you want to build wealth, you're going to have to
Kalee Boisvert:save money, I can tell you one of the biggest differentiators
Kalee Boisvert:to having a healthy relationship with money. And being in a good
Kalee Boisvert:place. Like where I see people that are very comfortable with
Kalee Boisvert:where they're at in their finances. They do save money.
Kalee Boisvert:That's a big piece of it. And they have been diligent about
Kalee Boisvert:saving it for some time. So it's things like getting started very
Kalee Boisvert:early with savings if possible, if at all possible, but of
Kalee Boisvert:course, better you know now than never. So if it feels like it's
Kalee Boisvert:too late, no, I'm not saying that at all. Start where you are
Kalee Boisvert:start now. That's key. So if savings, if saving money has
Kalee Boisvert:been a challenge for you in the past, I would ask you to dig
Kalee Boisvert:deeper into why or what might be causing that. So get a little
Kalee Boisvert:bit you know, start asking yourself questions if it's been
Kalee Boisvert:hard. You know what is hard about it? What do you think has
Kalee Boisvert:been the major block that's maybe limiting you or
Kalee Boisvert:prohibiting you from saving as much as you'd like to be saving?
Kalee Boisvert:Maybe that You know, what you find is you need to spend some
Kalee Boisvert:more time reviewing your expenses. And you can see if
Kalee Boisvert:there's anything that you can easily eliminate to allow for a
Kalee Boisvert:little bit more saving. Maybe what you find is you need to
Kalee Boisvert:automate it, because you just simply keep forgetting, it just
Kalee Boisvert:slips your mind. And then, you know, a month couple months go
Kalee Boisvert:by and you're like, Oh, I haven't put any money towards my
Kalee Boisvert:retirement savings or towards my tax free account. Completely
Kalee Boisvert:forgot, I need to do that. So if that's the case, maybe it's
Kalee Boisvert:about automating it to make it easier to it's not just an extra
Kalee Boisvert:list of things to do that could be forgotten.
Kalee Boisvert:And having a discipline strategy focused on savings rate is also
Kalee Boisvert:a really good approach that I find a lot of people like so
Kalee Boisvert:saying, Okay, can you save about 10 to 15% of your income towards
Kalee Boisvert:your longer term savings, because if you read personal
Kalee Boisvert:finance books, a lot of them, you know, target that if you can
Kalee Boisvert:save about 10 15% of your income towards those like financial
Kalee Boisvert:freedom goals, retirement goals, that is ideal. So some people
Kalee Boisvert:like to see that number and then have that all set up and kind of
Kalee Boisvert:work backwards, so they make saving the priority. And then
Kalee Boisvert:they construct kind of how everything else is going to
Kalee Boisvert:unfold after that. What also might help if saving has been a
Kalee Boisvert:challenge is using making sure you have a rainy day fund to
Kalee Boisvert:allow for a bit of a buffer because sometimes if things
Kalee Boisvert:happen in life, and extra expenses come up, you know, you
Kalee Boisvert:might not want to be digging into that longer term savings,
Kalee Boisvert:it might feel, you know, disempowering. Or it feels like
Kalee Boisvert:you're taking a few steps backward, if you're starting to,
Kalee Boisvert:you know, go into those savings to use to cover the expenses
Kalee Boisvert:that come up, instead of having a little bit of a cushion some
Kalee Boisvert:buffer outside of it, where you don't have to tap into some of
Kalee Boisvert:those longer term savings. So how else can you support your
Kalee Boisvert:money grow and thrive? So one is obviously through savings,
Kalee Boisvert:that's one of the very important steps that you can control. And
Kalee Boisvert:then another way to support your money to grow and thrive is
Kalee Boisvert:through investing. And investing is one of the best ways to get
Kalee Boisvert:your money working for you. And to have it grow. It's flexible
Kalee Boisvert:investing, there's so many different investment products
Kalee Boisvert:and tools out there available. Probably too many, but it just
Kalee Boisvert:means that there's something out there for anyone in whatever
Kalee Boisvert:you're looking for, there's probably something specifically
Kalee Boisvert:that is going to work to fill that need. It's accessible to
Kalee Boisvert:everyone, you can open an account with $0 and get started
Kalee Boisvert:investing. So there's really no excuse as to why you're not or
Kalee Boisvert:why you might have to wait or put it off. And the power of
Kalee Boisvert:compounding is really what works once you're investing to help
Kalee Boisvert:your money grow because your money is building upon itself
Kalee Boisvert:with compounding and a key to compounding is giving it time.
Kalee Boisvert:So the sooner you get started on saving and investment. And this
Kalee Boisvert:this step of saving and investing, the better. So always
Kalee Boisvert:sooner sooner, the better. If you're listening to this, take
Kalee Boisvert:some action right after you're hearing this, to take you know,
Kalee Boisvert:to do something to work towards one of those building that
Kalee Boisvert:loving relationship. So what do I have for you? Lastly, to fall
Kalee Boisvert:in love with your money, make sure you're spending time
Kalee Boisvert:planning and dreaming for the future. So when you think about
Kalee Boisvert:being in love, a big piece of that, that love is about
Kalee Boisvert:planning your future together with your partner, you get to
Kalee Boisvert:share your dreams and desires. And and you get to talk about
Kalee Boisvert:you know, what is that? What does that look like? What
Kalee Boisvert:adventures are you guys going to pursue in your future together,
Kalee Boisvert:it could be buying a home, it could be about getting married,
Kalee Boisvert:having kids going on certain trips, all sorts of things that
Kalee Boisvert:it's exciting in that planning is it's fun to do and it feels
Kalee Boisvert:good. So the same needs to be included in your loving
Kalee Boisvert:relationship with your money. You have to make goals, and you
Kalee Boisvert:have to really plan out what is that you want? What is your
Kalee Boisvert:future with your money look like? You know, so you can you
Kalee Boisvert:can break that down too. So you can say, okay, what are my short
Kalee Boisvert:term goals for my money? My 123 year goals? What are my medium
Kalee Boisvert:term, the five to 10 year timeframe on 10 years plus so my
Kalee Boisvert:longer term goals for my money, what are those? And then getting
Kalee Boisvert:as specific as you can of course we all know with goal planning
Kalee Boisvert:and goal setting, the more specific you can get the better.
Kalee Boisvert:And really remembering that when it comes to money, it's your
Kalee Boisvert:money and you get to decide. It's not about you know, what
Kalee Boisvert:can I do or what will I be able to achieve with my money? We
Kalee Boisvert:need to switch that around so it's not happening to you again.
Kalee Boisvert:That's more than that fear mindset that men, that scarcity
