Quotes:
“Being in control of your finances gives you freedom, gives you security, gives you a feeling of abundance and gratitude.” - Linda Lingo
“Whatever our money stories or beliefs are, we bring those into our marriage.” - Linda Lingo
“When women can understand that they don't have to be afraid of money, that money can be their friend, they start setting up their finances in such a way that it supports them. And so, for many women, it's getting out of that scarcity mindset - I’m afraid, I don't know if I’m going to be ok, I don't know what my future looks like - you need to take the time to give yourself grace, number one, and number two that it's never too late to learn about how to make money your best friend.” - Linda Lingo
