Kimberly Palmer: How to bolster your financial confidence

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:57:46 GMT

Melinda Perez, a financial educator, still remembers the first time she felt financially confident. She had recently started investing money outside of her employer-sponsored retirement account because she was finally earning more than she spent. “It was exciting because for once, I had what felt like extra money,” recalls Perez, who lives in San Antonio, Texas.Financial confidence, or the belief in one’s money-related abilities, might not come up as much as financial literacy — especially in April, Financial Literacy Month — but money experts say it’s often the hidden ingredient behind savvy money decisions. “If there’s no financial confidence, there is no willpower to succeed.

According to a NerdWallet survey in January, three quarters of Americans say they do ...

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:57:46 GMT

Her time in the ring has honed her “seek and destroy” mentality, giving her the drive and determination to go after her goals relentlessly, but her work as a deputy has also helped her become a more well-rounded fighter. “That’s the mentality. You gotta go, go, go. There’s this dog, lion, wolf mentality that we just have when we’re in here,” she said. “On the road, it’s more so, I’m protecting people ev...
