It has finally happened: Pam was mask shamed in public. We're shook that this happened in liberal California! We're joined this week by Kara, founder of Bravely Go, an award-winning financial education company. Kara is here to explain inflation like we're 5, and dispel some common misinformation. Check Bravely Go out on Instagram, Tiktok, and Twitter! What is inflation, who is Grandpa Money Bags, and who is Grandma glass breaker?! Why does the federal government increase interest rates, and are there any silver linings to it for consumers? Corporations, just like people, love blaming the government for the increased cost of goods. But is it more complicated than that? Kara recommends checking out these episodes of Planet Money to learn more about inflation: Uncle Sam wants YOU to fight inflation and The Great Inflation. The push to ban books is on the rise across the country– but Texas really takes the cake here: community members across 100 school districts made 75 formal requests to ban books from libraries. Apparently any book that might make a student feel discomfort or exposes them to some hard historical truths about the USA needs to go. We have some tips on what you can do to speak out against book banning, starting with exercising your right to VOTE! This just in: MILLENNIALS ARE KILLING WINE.

For this episode of the Mo’ Money Podcast, I’ve got my friend Kara Perez on the show. She is the founder of Bravely Go, a feminist financial education company. Her company focuses on bringing actionable and accessible financial education to people through pop up events and an online community. Kara is also the co-host of the award-winning The Fairer Cents podcast and if that wasn’t enough she’s also a money coach! In this episode, we talk about why there is such a need to hear diverse voices in the personal finance world so we can all learn from each other, what it means to be a financial feminist, and Kara shares her tips on how to negotiate like a pro so you can level up your money (a skill I sure wish I had back in my 20s). Kara also shares her story of graduating soon after the recession with an English degree, and living on a low income for many years while struggling to pay off her debt. By taking the time to educate herself about money and being disciplined with living below her means, she was able to crush her debt and now works full-time running her own company teaching others how to empower themselves through personal finance. Although she doesn’t like to say if she can do it so can you, hopefully her story will serve as some inspiration that no matter where you’re at in life, there’s always a path to a better financial life.

Our guest today discovered her love of money, courtesy of her quarter-life crisis. Kara Perez is the founder of Bravely, which she started in 2017. At that time, she was in the midst of what she calls a quarter-life crisis. She was broke, saddled with student loan debt, she had no career direction. She realized that what was holding her back was her lack of financial knowledge. She buckled down and paid over $25,000 worth of debt on a $30,000 salary. Today, her online site Bravely shares hopeful financial steps. Kara also speaks across the country about personal finance. Kara and I discuss some of the steps that women and men and society need to take in order to achieve things like gender wage equality, financial literacy for all and how she herself managed to work her way to financial freedom. Learn more about Kara Perez by visiting BravelyGo. Listen to her podcast and follow her on Instagram @ByKaraP.

The Scars of the Great Recession Many of those that graduated into the Great Recession of 2008 have been forever scarred, financially speaking.  Many of us experienced the pain of that era, but in case you avoided it, take a moment to consider what it must have felt like.  Think about the fear, anxiety and uneasiness that would come from facing a mountain of debt in one direction, and a jobless desert in the other. Who Is Kara Perez? The first time I saw Kara Perez in action, she was supporting another person in figuring out a financial question in a Facebook group.   At the time I didn’t realize that she was the co-host of the Fairer Cents Podcast - a series based podcast that focuses on the sociological and economic aspects of money and how women on average are affected by these external systems. As I learned more about her, I realized that  Kara Perez is also founder of the financial education company Bravely. Through Bravely, Kara has created a community that gives self-identified women the financial tools needed to bridge the gaps between their dreams and their realities. So, a single woman without children - how does this tie into our mission as a Financial Independence Podcast for Families? Wendy and I thought a lot about this, and these are the reasons we were so interested in exploring Kara’s views on the show. Kara Perez brings the Millennial perspective on money  - one that neither Wendy nor I can give.  Alright, yes, technically I am a Millennial. However, Kara is able to share a Millennial experience that I did not experience. Her fascinating money story includes graduating directly into the thick of the recession, being unable to find work for months, taking to side hustling, and eventually stepping out of a place of self pity and into a place of self affirmation. Her story is unmistakably inspiring. Kara has studied the dismal statistics that highlight the gap between gender and money.  House of FI Family, it’s so important to know the potential obstacles in your path before you are faced with them.  By knowing what others are facing in terms of gender inequality, you have the opportunity to avoid the same pitfalls.  We hope these concepts help you to prepare yourselves, or your daughters, wives and loved ones for potential obstacles. Kara has created tools to master money - something Wendy and I hope to do someday.  These tools can be helpful to some of you as you try to figure your financial situation out. By creating the tools Kara offers support to her followers as they navigate this money journey.   “We’re all for cheering each other on, but we want to go deeper and look behind those happy epithets at what really makes money such a complicated subject, especially for women.” -Bravely Kara’s Money Story: A Millennial Perspective Kara (1 of 3 kids) revealed through her money story that she grew up a New England native.  Kara spent all of her younger years in a single parent household, supported by food stamps. When she finished college she was unemployable, given it was the start of the Great Recession.  Armed with an English degree, a desire to work and a ton of student loan debt, Kara tried her hardest to find a position.    Nothing salaried panned out, and Kara's resolve was tested as she often panicked under the weight of the stress, and the negative cycle of her scarcity mindset.  After reaching rock bottom, she realized she needed to create positive momentum in order to escape her negative money script.   So she got to work. She paid off $25,302 in student loan debt while never making more than $32,000 per year and only using gig economy jobs!  No full time salaried positions.  She HUSTLED! What is BravelyGo.Co?
