About this episode

Have you ever wondered why, despite hurdles like the gender pay gap and career interruptions, women who start investing frequently achieve higher returns than their male counterparts? Today on Everyone's Talkin' Money, I sit down with Jessica Spangler, author of "Invest Like a Girl," to uncover the secrets behind this financial phenomenon. We offer insights into how both women and men can harness their unique strengths to thrive as investors.

The journey to financial literacy starts early, and the conversations had around the family dinner table can echo into our adult lives in profound ways. Our discussion takes a personal turn as Jessica, and I reflect on the differing financial narratives we were exposed to growing up, how they've sculpted our attitudes towards money, and, more importantly, how we can redefine what it means to be an investor. This episode peels back the layers of investment strategies, revealing that it's not the complexity but the consistency that often leads to success.

In this episode,

  • We discuss why women are better investors (and how men can adopt what women do well)
  • How to prioritize your investment accounts and figure out what you should invest in first
  • How to manage risk without breaking into a sweat
