The Fiscal Feminist Kimberlee A. Davis

Women have been largely overlooked in money conversations and you know the stats, we earn less, live longer, and so much more. We definitely get the short end of the equality stick a lot. So it’s even more important, no, make that critical, that we as women learn how to have fiscal freedom.

I'll share the must-know money lessons that every woman needs to know and holds your hand through some serious topics like divorce, prenups and postnups, and all those money topics that you’d rather hide from. My message is that you need to become the CEO of your life. Join us for this inspiring episode that feels like a fun information overload, in the best way possible, and a wild ride with Shannah Compton Game. Let’s get talkin’.

Life is always coming at us fast, and that feels especially true when you decide to write a book. You take on this huge, ambitious commitment, and suddenly a home improvement project goes sideways, a family member has a health issue, work-demands become crushing, or some other huge interruption comes along and threatens to pull you off your path. I experienced all of that and more.

Is Crypto the way forward for women investors or is it style over substance and group think? This has been on my mind lately and I can’t wait for us to dive in together!

“Fear,” “anxiety,” “inadequacy,” and “dread” are words that 47% of women with at least $25,000 of investable assets associate with financial planning. Women are less comfortable managing their retirement investments and making investment decisions than men. Only a fraction of American women (26%) is investing in the stock market. Why is this the case? Largely, it’s simply an issue of avoidance, fear of the unknown, and a long tradition of lack of financial guidance to, and discussions with, our daughters as they grow up.

Multiple studies substantiate that when women focus on investing and leave their fears and avoidance at the doorstep, they can be effective in building their wealth through investing without taking on outsized risks and trying to get rich quick.

Rethinking retirement norms
Starting the financial conversation with your parents and figuring out the best financial plan for them

Let’s kick this off with an admission: We don’t have a prenup.

In today’s episode, I’ll tell you why—and why we probably should’ve gotten one.

How the “stay-at-home” spouse can protect themselves financially
Why the prenup agreement is like an insurance policy for your marriage
What Kim thinks about joint credit cards
