HTL 010: MONEY SMARTS – Things to Know to Make Your Money Grow, with Randi Levenbaum

Money Smarts

In episode 7, Randi Levenbaum shared her story of how she made a goal at age 20 to retire early and ended up doing so at age 43! 

Well, that show got a great response and many requests to define some of the terms and techniques Randi mentioned. 

What are stocks and bonds? How about mutual funds?

And what is the difference between an IRA and a Roth IRA? How about a 401K? How do I set financial goals?

Soooo, because she is so awesome, Randi is back again to do more of a Q and A about money smarts and clear up some of the mystery for you. 

Terms like financial planning, “make your money work for you”, “the market”, portfolio, net worth, and many more are about to finally make sense!

Once you learn to speak the language, you can go out there more confidently and be in control of your money and your financial future.
