What I Learned From All Things Money, “Financial Freedom” (VIDEO)

Financial freedom. Goodness, that is the Holy Grail, isn’t it? The pot of gold at the end of that rainbow. But how do you make a goal out of a dream? Especially with money, a subject that can be unexpectedly overwhelming when the goal seems so far from the starting point. Well, Tanya Rapley addresses just that in the “Financial Freedom” episode of All Things Money on BlackLove.com.

In this episode, Tanya explains building a financial legacy and understanding what financial freedom means to you. Not to Tanya, your hair stylist, or Mrs. Jones across the street — you. The exciting part is, no matter no matter the size of your current paycheck, you can still contribute to building your financial freedom or the financial freedom of the next generation; it is all in the planning.

She lists several topics to work on in order to build a strong financial foundation moving into the future. Though, she does mention that addressing each topic will be different for everyone depending on their current financial situation. Which is why you need to know where you are in order to know where you are going.

As a person creating a start-up company at home, I definitely took several tips from Tanya that I need to address in my family. For one, it is important for my family to look at our financial situation in order to plan a roadmap to financial freedom in the future, and not that disappearing rainbow kind either. We need to look at our assets, our liabilities, and prioritize saving and investing in what is important to us.
