<ul> <li>“<em>When you are financially whole in the way I’ll teach you to be, you won’t have to live in fear. You’ll have a plan for each area of your finances so that they are constantly working on your behalf</em>“. — Tiffany Aliche</li> <li>America’s favorite budget expert, Tiffany Aliche joins us to discuss her new book, <a href="https://getgoodwithmoney.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Get Good With Money</em></a>.</li> <li>Financial fear can come from financial trauma and drama. When you know that the money you are making isn’t quite enough for the things that you absolutely need, or you can foresee a future when your finances will not be okay, most of us carry that fear secretly and with a sense of shame.</li> <li>Tiffany wants her community of more than 500,000 Dreamcatchers to release that shame, focus on solutions, and create plans that actually work.</li> <li>According to Tiffany, wealth is more than just money in the bank. It’s really a mindset, which is the building block of personal finance.</li> <li>People often chase an end goal without a foundation to ensure they will still be okay if something were to happen.</li> <li>Tiffany’s teachings are foundational. The goal is to give you the foundation that you need to go on greatness, such as investing at a high level, buying the home you want, or starting a business.</li> <li>For many of us, fear comes from a lack of knowledge and it takes an external, traumatizing incident to awaken us. Tiffany wants to reach people before they get to that point by normalizing financial education early on.</li> <li>Tiffany’s approach is three-pronged: knowledge, access, and community. She delivers knowledge through her blog, The Budgetnista, and podcast, Brown Ambition. For access, she showcases other financial educators, like the ChooseFI Foundation, to those who want a financial education for the children and community. And finally, she built Dreamcatchers for the third prong, community, so that people know they are not alone.</li> <li>The 10 comp
