Smart Money Moves with Holly Reid
Manage episode 354395559 series 3271950
JD is joined by certified public accountant Holly Reid to talk about financial education and the importance of imparting it early to our youth. Holly is an experienced finance professional who loves her career and believes we all have knowledge, experiences and a purpose to add value, contribute to society and enrich the lives of others. As a personal finance advocate, Holly is dedicated to helping adults and the next generation manage their finances as responsible stewards. Growing up in a household where, “we may have been poor in material possessions, but we were rich in love, family values, and an unwavering work ethic,” she speaks on how the lack exposed the economic disparities and piqued her interest to understand the economic landscape and specifically money management. In 2012, Holly created The Master Playbook to break the cycle of paycheck to paycheck living and to help adults and the next generation create a financial legacy worth leaving. She has educated thousands of people through her book, speaking engagements, and coaching sessions using sound financial principles, practical tips and her personal experiences.
