Resources: Erin Lowry's Broke Millennial Book series https://brokemillennial.com/get-the-book/. This is a book recommended by Lindsay for those who want a basic book on financial discipline.

My key takeaways from the discussion in this episode are as follows:

1. Nobody is inherently bad with money. Don’t ever think that If you are in debt or are living paycheck to paycheck, that you are dumb or stupid. You are not. You can learn, you can change, you can overcome.

2. You should give yourself the permission to grow and to change your mind. A marker of true maturity is to say I used to believe in something but now I have new information, and I have grown beyond the belief I used to have. I think this life lesson is on the money for life as well as for money matters. Lindsay also shared an appropriate money example with us regarding this life lesson.

3. In order to help you shift any guilt provoking thoughts in your head about money, be kind to yourself the way you would be kind to a friend. Learn from your mistakes and bring the required change in your life to achieve financial health.

4. Lastly for those listeners who are parents, please teach your children to be financially responsible from an early age. It is one of those good habits that will benefit them lifelong.

You can personally write to me at [email protected] with your comments or if you have a story to share with our listeners. I will bring you another episode of Sharing Life Lessons next Wednesday. Until then, 'Be happy, be safe and be well'.
