I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I was in NYC and let me tell you – I had a ball in bringing in the month of May. I’m going to keep it short and sweet today and let you listen to my talk last week on “Investing on a Budget.” As a reminder, Prudential invited me to speak as their featured guest on the Hip Hop Sisters Foundation Wealthy Wednesday call. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

I know, the topic may sound contradictory, but I have no doubt that you will get a lot out of this one because I walk though exactly how to make room for investing in your life. If you did dial-in, thank you for your participation – I appreciate your support. 

If you have not done so, please listen when you have a moment. If you (or your parents are retiring), I give some good strategies on how to think about investing later on in life during the Q&A period. 

One of the biggest reasons why people do not invest is because they do not think they have money to do so. But, I will allay those fears and provide some tips to get you started.

Did You Hear?

For those of you who heard about Goldman Sachs opening a new online bank, you did hear correctly. I think Goldman has a way to go here, but it is very interesting that they have strategically decided to go this route. What does this mean for you? We’ll all have to wait and see if they can offer good products and a competitive advantage over what you’re using today. I will be following this one!

Have a great week and Spring is here, for real this time.
