Did you ever have bad dreams when you were a kid? Maybe you thought there was something lurking in your closet or under your bed - the boogie monster. Now, that boogie monster might be replaced by bad dreams about money. Our guest, Meghan Dwyer, a Certified Financial Planner and host of the Money Isn’t Scary podcast, is here to take away all those bad money dreams and help you go from financial fear to financial freedom. I get that money might feel scary - it’s a primal need, and you can’t escape it. So how do you move money out of the scary place? In this episode, Meghan will share some truths and words of wisdom to help you do just that. We talk about why envisioning the future you is so important, how planning for the unexpected can actually help money be less scary, and why it’s really okay to like money, despite what society might lead you to believe. Whether you’re in full-on scarcity mode or want to feel more confident about your money, this episode is for you.
