    Welcome to another episode of Financially Naked: Stories from The Financial Gym! Today, we have the pleasure of hosting Carlos, a talented writer and author, who joins us to discuss his new children's book, Emergency Quarters. Inspired by his childhood experiences growing up in Queens, New York, Carlos shares the heartwarming journey of Ernesto, a young boy who learns the value of a quarter in the era of payphones.  

    In this episode, we chat about the importance of financial literacy, especially for children, and how Carlos's upbringing in a tight-budget household shaped his understanding of money. We explore the origins of Emergency Quarters, from a celebrated essay in The New York Times to a beloved picture book.

Christielig ,

Fantastic, positive podcast!

If you love 'Martinis and Your Money,' you will love 'Financially Naked.' This podcast, run by the trainers at the Financial Gym, is an awesome addition or standalone to 'Martinis and Your Money.' The podcast approaches finances in the most positive, warm, whole-person type away. I've tried a lot of financial podcasts, and so many can come out as preachy or that they know a lot more than you do. Not these podcasts. I started listening in May 2020 and haven't stopped since. While you don't have to be a member of the Financial Gym to enjoy this podcast, but I'm so glad I did! I became a member last August and have had wonderful success and support from one of the fantastic trainers, Catriona. Highly recommend both the Gym and these podcasts!

Makes Money much more fun!

If you want to learn more about money but typical finance media makes you need a nap, this is a much better choice. Real people talk about real money issues and the choices you can make to make improvements.
