Summary
If you listened to last week’s episode, you heard Tiffany Aliche (who is known as “The Budgetnista”) share her wisdom how to invest your money, build wealth and why it’s so important to empower and education women with their finances. I thought it would be fun to continue to conversation today by sharing with you my story with my finances and investing, as it’s been an ongoing journey for me too to learn more about these critical topics.
My journey really began about 4 years ago, and the reason I waited so long to start investing was because to be honest it all just seem so complicated. This episode is a deep dive into all of the things that I’ve done to educate myself since then – the good, the bad and the ugly! Please note that I’m not a financial expert and this episode is just about sharing my personal experiences, but hopefully the information I talk about here can help you on your own journey to build wealth!

| 0:00.0 | I'm Melissa Griffin and while I was in my 20s, I turned a hobby blog into a multi-million |
| 0:05.8 | dollar company. Now, what I've discovered after working with thousands of entrepreneurs is that |
| 0:10.6 | the greatest thing standing in the way of success isn't another business tactic or marketing |
| 0:16.3 | strategy. It's your own mindset. Now, I believe that you're meant for more than just the status quo. |
| 0:23.2 | So on this show, you'll feel like you're sitting down with a friend who's here to help you transform your fears and roadblocks into a truly limitless version of yourself. |

| 0:47.9 | What is of Limitless Life? So last week's episode was with Tiffany Leachay, who is from the Budget Nista, |
| 0:56.3 | and we talked all about how to invest your money, how to build wealth, why it's important to empower and educate women on their finances so that they can build more money and wealth as well. And I thought, |
| 1:01.2 | well, wouldn't it be fun if I shared more of my own story when it came to investing? Because I sure |
| 1:07.3 | as heck, did not come out of the womb just knowing what to do with my money. I feel like this is |
| 1:13.4 | such an underrepresented topic in today's education system, at least in the United States, |
| 1:18.4 | where I literally didn't learn anything about finances until I decided to go out there and figure |
| 1:25.4 | it out myself. So it was about four years ago that I even |
| 1:29.5 | started thinking, maybe I should do something with the money that I have in the savings account |
| 1:35.1 | because that's what I was doing. I was earning money and whatever I earned, I just put into this |
| 1:40.0 | savings account. And that was the end of that. I didn't even have a retirement account. I didn't know |
| 1:45.0 | how to invest money in stocks. It all just seemed so complicated and so difficult. It seemed like this |
| 1:51.0 | whole thing that I would need to learn. And so I just kept putting it off. And I never really |

| 2:00.7 | real wealth in order to build real wealth in |
| 2:01.9 | order to grow the money that I have instead of just putting it into a savings account. |
