Skimm This Skimm Special, Part 3: COVID, Women, and Their Wallets
Over the last few months, most of us have faced some sort of COVID-related lifestyle changes that have disrupted our everyday norms. On today’s Skimm Special, brought to you in partnership with Northwestern Mutual, we’ll hear from a Skimm’r contending with a drop in self-employment income after her counseling job went remote and her office sat empty. Managing new childcare expenses while making a career pivot hasn’t been easy, but she’s not afraid to think outside the box when it comes to making ends meet and still planning for the future.
Whether it’s saving for a rainy day or setting competitive rates for our work, Northwestern Mutual financial advisor Nicole Stokes walks us through the value of keeping expenses in check even while aiming for the stars in our careers.
On this episode, you’ll hear from:
- Kim Wheeler Poitevien, Philadelphia-based counsellor and licensed social worker
- Nicole Stokes, Northwestern Mutual financial advisor
