The founder of The Pledgettes (thepledgettes dot com), Jenn Uhen, asked me to provide money advice I would give to my younger self so she could share that with her members.

The Pledgettes is a financial community of incredible women who are pledging to take an active role in their financial journey. Because every individual money move you make has a ripple effect on a more equitable future.

Here is my advice:

“Saving and investing are two habits necessary to becoming a millionaire. Another is maximizing your earnings. Negotiate every job offer and focus on continuous learning to ensure you stay marketable to your ideal employers. Investing in yourself is essential. Next, start that business you've been dreaming of! Start it as a side gig and then grow it over time to replace your earnings as an employee. And finally, be sure to prioritize your health. If you aren't healthy, you can't enjoy the freedom that money provides or relationships with your loved ones.”

What money advice do you have for your younger self?
