If gold is the answer, what is the question‪?‬ Women on the Verge of a Financial Breakthrough

It's so tempting to keep our money in things we can touch like cash or gold - we can use them in an emergency so they're safer, right? Sara says we need to think twice about what "safe" means and details the surprisingly complicated logistics of going all out for gold. Caitlin has to interrupt recording to manage a rental and Sara points out that an investment account never calls you on a Saturday to complain about the air conditioning. We talk about how to make that leap of faith from investing in seemingly low risk but tangible things, to the much more abstract stock market, that can actually build our financial future. This week the one thing Women on the Verge of a Financial Breakthrough can do TODAY to take the first, or next, step towards building a strong financial future involves very simple steps to get a handle on your financial portrait.
