Laurie Itkin received a $1600 inheritance at the age of 24. She invested the $1600 in the stock market. The decision she made to invest vs save or spend the money was the most important wealth-building decision she made. It was the seed for how she became a millionaire before she turned 40.

She was raised by a twice-divorced mother of two who worked as a teacher and was financially supported by her father still. Her mother struggled financially because her teacher salary didn't cover the lifestyle she wanted to live. Observing her mother always taught me a lot of the importance of understanding the difference between wants and needs.

Laurie, a financial adviser, wealth manager, certified divorce financial analyst  and Amazon best-selling author of the book: Every Woman Should Know Her Options: Invest Your Way to Financial Empowerment, has spent the last decade doing work to elevate women's financial literacy.

Listen in and learn when to start investing, the best way to get started and what are good options in our current economic situation.

Learn your options and take charge of your financial future.
