Episode Details

They say money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy housing, food, healthcare, and lots of other things.  And while school and pop culture/media have prepared us to be good workers and consumers, we haven't been taught very much about how to protect ourselves financially.  Maria shares her expertise and thoughts around consumerism, creating intergenerational wealth, and financial self care.
