Money Mistakes We’ve Made in Our 20s

Girls That Invest
About this episode

What's a personal finance podcast without our hosts, Sim and Sonya diving into the money mistakes they've made as they navigate their personal finances as two 20-something year olds. From treat yo self culture (gasp!) to fear of credit cards, to running away from fines because *being an adult is hard* this episode pushes against the idea that being "good with your money" is a skill you need to be born with, but rather than a muscle you strength over time, so have a listen!
