  • CYM013: Check Your Living Situation. Rent or buy?

    The beauty of being limitless is that you don’t have to fit into the traditional mold. Buying a house can feel liberating and can be a wealth building tool but it’s not the only one. Aside from providing an alternative, I share a easy way to do the math to help in your decision in whether to rent or own.

  • CYM010: Check Your More

    What is holding you back from your "more" or your "next"?  What are the roadblocks blocking you from doing what you've always wanted to do? Money isn't everything... yes, I said it.... However, money can follow feeding your passion because once you truly believe in yourself, others will too. I also provide a way you can mentor high school & college students who are searching for someone to provide guidance on their journey!

  • CYM009: Check Your Credit Visibility
    All things credit & more! Are you credit "invisible"? Did you know that you can have your utility & cell phone payments reflect on your credit report so you can boost your score (assuming you pay on time :)) ? Do you know that you can check you credit report weekly through April 2021? What about this Payroll tax deferral people are talking about? I walk you through it all in this episode!

  • CYM008: Check Your End of Life Wishes
    When my dad died, I learned about what happens when you’re not being prepared, and also about not sharing your wishes ahead of time with your family. I share my experience in the hopes you don’t go through what I went through. Also, please know that you don't have to have a lot of assets or minor children to think about a will. Have you thought about who you want to make medical decisions should you be unable to speak? The unexpected can happen, but if you plan you can reduce the family arguments (even if just a bit). I'll show you how you can do this part for $5!

  • CYM007: Check My Fear of Investing
    Investing always seemed like an out of reach thing for me. I've had a retirement account at work & I opened up a ROTH IRA at some point but I finally made the decision to invest part of my savings.... 
    Investing IS within your reach! And, you don't have to have tons of money to start. You can buy a share of stock for $30 and viola, you're an "investor."
    Getting past your fear by understanding the lay of the land is the first step. YES, there is RISK but, YES, there can also be reward.
    [While I do have a Master's Degree in Family & Consumer Science with a specialization in Family Financial Planning, and I have successfully passed the Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC) Exam (in the process of earning the hours to have the designation), I am NOT a Financial Advisor or a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA). This episode is intended to educate regarding investing but not to provide investment advice.]

  • CYM006: Check Your Latina Mom Money Questions
    In this episode, I have my first guest! Her name is Maria and she's an aunt I kept in my divorce. I have learned so much from her about marriage, divorce, raising children, and what it is to be an exceptional daughter.  She takes us from growing up with a single mom, finding out about a "hidden" credit card, and working on her college degree for 20 years.

  • CYM004: Check Your Retirement Readiness
    I am obsessed, to say the least, about having enough money to retire comfortably. The stats regarding minority retirement accounts are SCARY. You may think you don’t earn enough to save anything for it but you may be missing out on a tax break that can help!
