🎥 More about this video:
Too many times now I have seen people - primarily women - defer to their male partners (whether it's their boyfriend or husband) for financial advice and management. "Oh, I'm just not good at that money stuff." or "He knows what he's doing so I leave it to him." NOOOO. We've got to stop this. Stop letting your boyfriend manage your money. In this video, I talk about the importance of knowing your own financial situation, why for women especially you should know how to manage your own money, and the risks involved in financial dependence.
