Welcome back to Women Rising St. Louis! In this episode, we're diving deep into women and financial empowerment. We explore whether it's better to have joint or separate bank accounts with your partner, why so many women feel financial stress, and how to stay connected to your money even if you're not the one paying the bills. We discuss the importance of financial independence, knowing your household finances, and preparing for the unexpected. Elizabeth opens up about her personal journey on learning to manage money after the passing of her husband, and how that experience has shaped her approach in her new marriage.
