The Advice Podcast Carissa Fairbrother

An honest and open look at how cash management works for us behind closed doors.  As we are two financial advisers – you’d think we are perfect… but that is not always the case as opposites often attract.

Money personalities come into play, often there is a spender and a saver, one who pays the bills and one who doesn’t check the bank balance – the key is finding common ground.  In this episode, we share some practical tips from 20 years of experience and heated arguments.  It’s safe to say we understand each other, and our differences.  But, you don’t have to be in a long-term relationship to be clear about the financial future you want.

Enjoy,

Here's a very quick overview of who I am and why I thought you might like to stay and have a wee listen.

Welcome.  As a practicing  Financial Adviser, business owner, consumer of ‘all things’ money, and not so shy of a microphone... I thought about all the wonderful, smart folks that I have access to.  If you choose to tune in and listen, my greatest hope is that you will pick up some little gold nugget that you can implement in your own financial life.  There will be two formats,  a ‘quick chat’ is a 5 to 10 min episode focused on education and the longer format is where I have conversations with guests from up and down the country from a variety of backgrounds.
