Bonus: Financial Independence

When do you cut the financial umbilical cord?! 😆 In this bonus episode of Decision Day, I break down a powerful article from the Charles Schwab Quarterly Magazine titled Helping Adult Children Build Better Money Habits by Jeannie Bidner. Every young adult (and parent) needs to hear this! This episode covers the exact points young adults struggle with most: financial dependence, rising living costs, lifestyle pressure, credit card debt, budgeting, and how to actually transition toward independence without feeling overwhelmed. ☆ Follow along on social media: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@decisiondaypodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/decisiondaypodcast/] or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@leahleverichh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/leahleverichh/] ☆ Submit your anonymous questions here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Google Forms⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdGqy2cRIvW-gK7s1QrafURVbIzH0hmD3tET7-SbMpjxlMooA/viewform] ☆ Connect with me on LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@LeahLeverich⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/leah-leverich-92a356204/] ☆ Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://leahleverich.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://leahleverich.com/] for more!
