What Would You Give Up to Get Rid of Deb...

Shari Rash, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health
About this episode

What would you be willing to give up to get rid of your debt and save more money?

In this episode, I sat down with Tamar Atamian, the VP of Marketing at Wescom Credit Union, to have a chat about a recent financial survey of Southern Californian millennials. I learned some eye-opening findings like millennials in Southern California save less than $200 a month. It makes sense, this city is expensive and you have to choose how to best use your cash. Whether you live in a big city like Los Angeles or a small city, you know the struggle of figuring out how to save money, how much to save and then what to do with it.


What You'll Learn

  • What most millennials would do to get rid of debt
  • How to balance saving money and achieving big goals like buying a house
  • Why Tamar thinks credit unions are an important piece of your financial future
  • How financial fears are impacting our finances
  • Tips to rev up savings in unlikely places
