Jay, I thought your show with Amanda Grossman was so
informative and relative. Financial literacy is so needed individually, as well
as in our relationships with our partners. It is so hard to discuss money
matters when your attitude about money is different from your partner’s. I plan
to follow up on some of the great tips given by Amanda, as well as her blog and
free kit. I wish she could have given some book recommendations, but much of
what she stated about problems getting access should a love one die unexpectedly
I found in a book I read by Suzie Orman. I would recommend that book for
anyone, especially a woman seeking basic financial knowledge to protect herself
and her family. The book is entitled, “Women & Money: Owning the Power
to Control Your Destiny”. This podcast was a refreshing prospective on
relationships and I am always pleasantly surprised when you bring up
relationship issues that are seldom discuss, but truly need to be discussed
more. Thank you Jay and your guest for such a wealth of knowledge. I pray this
message will encourage your listeners to be more proactive in financial
matters.
