Description
We’re naturally spenders and not savers. It’s just how we’re wired. By the time we realize we may have a problem with how we’re managing and spending our money, we’ve already built up intense feelings of overwhelm and shame that are difficult to overcome. How can we begin to change our negative money scripts and move from a mindset of scarcity to a mindset of abundance starting today? Today’s guest is Maggie Klokkenga, a financial coach with dual credentials as accountant and financial planner. After 20+ years in the financial industry, Maggie recently started her own firm in Illinois and works with clients all over the country, focusing in particular on financial coaching for couples and families planning for college. She views it all through the lens of the psychology of money. Listen in as Maggie shares how she “reduces overwhelm and shame around money by helping her clients get out of the red and into the black.” She gives us a mini history lesson and science lesson to help us all understand why we’ve made past spending choices, which can empower us to change our current spending patterns and achieve those financial goals.
