This week's episode focuses on the emotional and holistic side of money...the stories we  tell ourselves about money. Stories are the messages we receive about money in childhood often from parents and reinforced in our social and cultural environments.  All these messages integrate to form thoughts, money stories and core beliefs that influence how we interact with money on a daily basis. Some of these beliefs are unconscious leading us to behave or react to money with little or no thought.Today's guest contributor shares how her childhood experience of watching her mother struggle with money impact the financial decisions she made in her life. In early adulthood she had accumulated $55k in debt, resolved to pay it off in 5 years, but actually paid it off in 3.5 years. It is a story of awareness, understanding how the past intersects with the present and potentially the future until we make a conscious decision to change. Kassandra Dasent is a holistic wealth advocate and a thought leader in the personal finance space, certified project manager (PMP/CSM), certified commercial credit analyst (GCC), and certified financial education instructor (CFEI).She is also an accomplished singer-songwriter and has performed as a solo artist and as a vocalist in festivals.

Do you know how to ask for a raise? If you're like most people, you probably think that we're asking a rhetorical question. If you think it's as easy as simply walking up to your boss, asking for more money, and leaving, you probably haven't ever asked for a raise before. Behind every pay raise request is a clammy-handed employee, hoping that they've done well enough to justify that salary bump. Maybe you're nervous to talk to your boss, maybe you feel unprepared, or maybe you just find it hard to talk about money.On today's show, Kassandra Dasent, program manager and wealth advocate, touches on how every employee can prepare to get the raise they deserve. Despite what most people think, you should NOT prepare for your salary review days before it happens. Kassandra has a simple timeline that allows employees to maximize their raise potential throughout the year. So, when it finally comes time to talk numbers, most of the discussion is already done.This type of strategy has not only helped Kassandra but numerous listeners of the BiggerPockets Money Podcast. But, what if you can't get a raise? What if your boss says no? What if there's no budget left for you at the end of the day? Don't fret, Kassandra lays out the exit strategies you should plan for when career hiccups happen (which they inevitably will). In This Episode We CoverBuilding your “success folder” and using it as your greatest tool in a salary negotiation Taking initiative on pay raises and not letting your boss control your careerMitigating the fear of talking about money and using your goals to ask for a raise with confidence How job-hopping really looks to employers and how it will dictate your career pathStrategizing your raise and negotiating for more than just money How often you should update your resume (even if you've been at the same company)And So Much More!Check the full show notes here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/money-287See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Feeling bad about your debt? Well, we've brought the perfect motivation: a story about a woman who paid off over $55k of debt in just 3.5 years. Kassandra Dasent, singer/songwriter and former money coach, joins us to tell her compelling personal story. Raised by a single, immigrant mom, Kassandra learned the word hustle at a young age. However, she fell into her own debt troubles like so many people do because she thought she deserved nice items around her. When her credit was capped by credit card companies, Kassandra sprang into action. She'll share the tactics of how she did it on today's podcast. Plus, during our headlines segment, we'll share some horrible news about bad brokers. It turns out that once they're kicked out of the world of brokerages, many move over to the insurance industry to continue scamming clients. Speaking of scamming, crypto thieves ran off with over $32M recently. How do you protect yourself? We'll share strategies. We'll also throw out the Haven Life line to Austin, who wonders why Joe sold his rental property. We'll discuss real estate strategies AND the fact that there are many ways to achieve wealth during our answer. And of course, Doug also gets his share of air time. Enjoy!

Kassandra Dasent (www.kassandradasent.com) does not shy away from the uncomfortable, and difficult to articulate, topics of depression and anxiety. Born in San Juan, Trinidad, with chutney, soca and calypso in her blood, Kassandra is a singer-songwriter who grew up in Montreal, Quebec (Canada). She performed as a solo artist and vocalist in festivals, from Africa (Mali, Burkina Faso) to Montreux (Switzerland), as well as in galas, television shows, and concerts. She performed with the world-renowned Cirque du Soleil, Groupe Spaïcy and Groupe Iba, among others. She has co-written and collaborated on numerous tracks for other artists worldwide. Kassandra appeared as a singer in several feature films, the most recent being I'm Not There, a musical biopic of Bob Dylan. She has been featured in several publications including Glamour, Forbes, Business Insider, The Zoe Report, Fast Company, and many others, showcasing her financial prowess. In 2011, she released a successful album, Road To Rebellion, and then she took a long break (10 years, in fact). Her music has served as an essential tool towards managing her depression and anxiety. After years of working as a project manager and, recently, financial expert, Kassandra has come full circle with a new single, “Be Still.” Not yet released, the song talks about healing, death, loss, and pain. Last year, Kassandra lost her mother in the middle of the pandemic. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tyrideius-brownlow/support

I’m so excited to share this episode! I was told by others that Kassandra Dasent, a financial wellness engineer, Certified Financial Education Instructor, and speaker, would be an amazing guest…and she did not disappoint. As she shares in this episode, she is immigrated with her mom from Trinidad to Quebec, Canada as a child, and now lives in Florida, USA. And as immigrants to a new country, money was always tight. This led Kassandra to do, as I see so many financial counselling clients do, to rebel as an adult and spend without a plan and eventually get into debt. But everything changed in 2009 when she realized she was in serious consumer debt. Something needed to change if she wanted to live a more balanced, fulfilled, and financially secure life. So, in June 2009, she created a plan to pay off $55,000 of debt in five years. By November 2012 she became debt-free. And now she is on the show to not only share her journey of becoming debt-free, but to explain how she did it, how she continued to stay diligent with her plan and stay motivated, and what lessons she learned she hopes to pass onto others who may be in a similar situation.

The Cheapass Blog, as it was then known, was born out of sheer frustration with the hope of paying down a $120,000 debt much faster than the average debtor without filing for bankruptcy.From years of writing on the Yes, I Am Cheap blog, Sandy has tested numerous common techniques for getting out of debt including: debt consolidation, debt management plans, debt negotiation, working from home, the snowball technique, the envelope system, no spend challenges, extreme couponing and just about every other personal finance trick in the book.  She likes to refer to herself as the “guinea pig” of debt reduction techniques.On January 1, 2013, Sandy resolved to see just how much she could reduce her debt in a two year period.  By December 31, 2014, Sandy successfully reduced her debt by over $50,000 – all during a volatile period of employment for her.  During those two years, she was unemployed for six months before working as a temp for ten months before converting to a full-time employee.  This achievement led Yahoo! Finance to name Sandy’s story the #3 most inspiring personal finance stories of 2014.   Now a Certified Financial Education instructor, Sandy is dedicated to helping others put together their own formula for financial freedom.Sandy is also a Senior Certified HR Professional; holds a Bachelor of Science in Biology from St. John’s University and M.B.A. from Devry University’s Keller Graduate School.

I’m not going to lie to you. These last few weeks, since May 25 when George Floyd was murdered by the Minnesota police department, have been the hardest of my life. Every time I think I’ve gotten through a difficult chapter (like divorce, saving the business from the brink of collapse, surviving a global pandemic), another challenging chapter presents itself.  As challenging as the last few weeks have been, though, I’m ready for this to bring systemic change in a broken system that’s been broken for over 400 years. I’m ready for the hard conversations, I’m ready to learn and I’m ready to amplify and use privilege for the good.  Joining me today is my friend Kassandra Dasent to discuss our feelings over the last few weeks and how we move forward to a place of light and love. If you’re uncomfortable with this podcast having these conversations, you’re welcome to not listen, but I encourage you to confront your discomfort and evolve from there.  For more information, visit the show notes at https://martinisandyourmoney.com/show-notes/black-lives-matter-with-kassandra-dasent

As financial bloggers, His & Her Money sees hundreds of debt-free stories. We love to see those calculators out and the numbers going down, but these stories aren't just about the money, it's also about the people behind it. In today's episode, our guest's experience with becoming debt-free has a different spin on what money means to her and how she's used her financial smarts to better her life in unpredictable ways. We've got Kassandra Dasent here with us today, a boss lady CEO who went all-in to knock out her $55,000 consumer debt. A successful businesswoman with a passion for holistic wellness, once she realized her debt was holding her back, Kassandra was giving up her dream condo and saying goodbye for now to a lot of the luxuries in her life, just to get her finances right and become more fiscally responsible for the future. This wasn't just a financial journey, but a total lifestyle overhaul. While budgeting, saving, and upping her income potential, Kassandra was shaking off decades worth of bad habits and learning so much about herself and how she was managing her money. And now she's back to living her best life with her husband debt-free! Kassandra is a great example of putting in the work, and we hope you can learn a lot from her inspiring journey.

CEO of Bridge Tech Enterprises, Kassandra Dasent is on the show today. Kassandra is a member of Gen X, a financial expert, a singer-songwriter, caregiver and project management guru. Her money story started at a young age in Trinidad, where she grew up being a raised by a single mother who knew how to stretch a dollar during hard times. Her mom was a side hustler before it was popular and it was her mother’s work ethic that taught Kassandra the value of money and hard work. Her mother and her eventually immigrated to Montreal, Canada and some years later in early 2009, Kassandra found herself in 55k of consumer debt. She was ashamed and embarrassed because of the strong money lessons she learned from her mother while growing up in Trinidad.   After that, Kassandra began educating herself financially and started slowly changing her lifestyle to pay off her debt.

Learn How To Change Your Money Mindset With Kassandra Dasent Your money mindset is what will make or break your personal financial success. Creating an abundant view of money is the goal of Kassandra Dasent our podcast guest today. Join us as we talk about how to channel your energy towards changing how you view money so that you can actually achieve financial success.  This podcast is seriously amazing.  Kassandra really understands why we choose to make poor financial decisions even when we know better and her ideas on how to shape the way you view money will blow your mind away.   If you are struggling to control your money and need a shot in the arm to get your reenergized please take a few minutes to listen to this podcast - you won't be disappointed.   Kassandra is a firm believer in taking accountability for your money choices. She was a successful commercial credit analyst managing multiple million-dollar accounts but felt like a fraud because she had $55,000 in debt and was continually making poor money choices. In order to be successful at money management, you have to open your mind to an abundant mindset. In order to do this, you need to give a strong voice to your why. It needs to be more than just saying I want to pay off debt. You need to be able to look at the big picture and give yourself a reason that will give you the incentive to make the sacrifices you need. For Kassandra, this breakthrough came when she met a man she hoped to marry and realized that her financial situation was holding her back. After paying off her debt and completely changing her money mindset Kassandra realized that she wanted to do more with her life. She was in a high-stress job that was causing her anxiety and depression and went through her own midlife crisis. She eventually decided to quit her job and has become a money mindset coach and speaker. One of her biggest passions is to help people identify their emotional connection with money so that they can begin to control their money rather than having their emotions control their management of money. How to become successful with money To be successful with money you have to realize that most of your financial habits tie back to your own feelings of self-worth and self-respect. If you look back at the financial patterns in your life most of the time they are caused by specific events. For example, in Kassandra’s case, she was born in Trinidad and migrated to Canada when she was six with her single mother. There was never enough money and as a result, most of her spending occurred as a result of a need to feel and look like she was successful. For her spending money meant that she was successful and had moved beyond the poverty of her childhood. In order to change your money mindset you need to follow these three steps: 1. Take responsibility for your financial choices and own your decisions. 2. Learn how to identify your financial triggers. 3. Create process and systems that will help you shift your focus and gain control of your money. One of the ways she does this successfully is by constantly setting financial (and personal) goals. If you want to avoid recidivism with your money then you have to realize that every financial goal you achieve is just a plateau that will help you achieve an even bigger goal. If you want to learn how to change your money mindset from a scarcity mentality to an abundant mindset mentality you really, really need to listen to this podcast. One of the biggest nuggets I got from this podcast was the concept of capturing money from both ends of the spectrum. I’m a huge believer in always paying myself first. Every single time I get paid I put 10% of my income towards my saving goals (check out my retirement plan here). Paying yourself first is a great way to begin taking control of your money, but according to Kassandra, you also need to focus on paying yourself last. What this means is that you should put all of your focus on consistently underspending every single month and put the money towards your financial goals. It is kind of like the opposite of burning the candle at both ends because it gives you positive results every single time. Your goal should be to find a way of controlling your money flow so that you can stop money from escaping, but also so that you are in complete control of your money mindset.
