Hipp. Trenkle Chick, February 18, 2007.

Greetings. This is Kimberly Wilson and welcome to the 71st edition of the Hip Trenckel Chick

podcast, a guide to life on and off the yoga mat, produced from the Pink Palace in Washington, D.C.

Today's podcast is an interview with a returning expert, Sarah Kaplan, on Financial Finesce

Chapter 9 of Hiptrinkle Chick, topped off with a look and pose of the podcast and some fabulous

tunes. View our show notes and follow along at HIPTrenckelchick.com slash blog.

As I mentioned, today we're interviewing Sarah Kaplan, who's a partner at Kaplan Financial Group

and Kaplan Benefits Group and K Financial LLC.

Sarah is a graduate of the University of Maryland's R.H. Smith School of Business, where she

received recognition as a top graduate in her major.

Sarah is a regular guest speaker at the Smith School where she instructs graduating seniors

how to adapt to life after college financially.

So before we move into the interview with Sarah, I just want to remind a couple things that are

mentioned in the book and mentioned throughout the podcasts.

One is this fabulous quote by Gloria Steinem that's in the book, and it says we can tell

our values by looking at our checkbook stubs.

And, you know, a reminder that although financial dealing with finances may not be very

exciting for some of us, it's absolutely critical and crucial in order to survive our society.

And so, as I mentioned, an earlier podcast with Sarah. Just a reminder that it's,

it's not so much about material accumulation as it is about operating from the sense of abundance

and operating from the sense of realizing that we can give more if we have more.

And that comes psychologically just as much as it does financially.
