EmpowerYou Financial

Eva recently conducted a poll on her social media platforms, asking folks what is the best thing they have spent money on? The answers ranged from education and personal development to equipment for businesses, real estate, and experiences. There were so many responses and so many examples of great investments. However, hindsight is 20/20. Did we all truly know that the investment would be a good one before we purchased? Because if we are being honest, many of us invest in similar things but get varying results. So what's the difference? Listen in as Eva shares her strategy to making sure she gets the most out of what she chooses to spend her money on...

Making changes in your personal finances and personal credit can be difficult at times. Especially when you have grown up learning how to do things a certain way or you've taught yourself certain habits because it has helped you survive. You've learn how to make ends meet and although your finances and credit aren't where you ultimately want it to be, you are still holding it down for you and your family. We get it. But here's the thing, the things that got you here, won't be the things that get you there. Oftentimes in order for us to get to the next level in our personal finances and personal credit, we have to do things we have not done before and we have to be willing to invest in ourselves (even when it may seem impossible) to level up. Listen in as Eva shares why she believes it takes money to make money...

The audience consisted of Lions Club members that attended the Lions Club's first official meetup located on site in Southern California.

There are two good ways to spend extra funds according to Eva: either invest in assets or invest in experiences. While many of us understand what an asset is, something that provides a current, future, or potential economic benefit, not many of us understand what is meant by investing in experiences.
