Money
Money has the power to cause great stress, but it doesn’t have to. A little studying and systematizing goes a long way. Below, I share my own financial philosophies and best practices, as well as tips, tools and coaching exercises that I use with clients to help get their finances in order too. Our financial lives are never fixed – they are constantly evolving as our lives change; these posts will help you manage the ebb and flow with greater ease.
Be sure to check out the Life After College infographic poster that I put together with Mint.com — that’s a great jumping-off point for getting your money matters in order.
Before I jump in to the post round-up for this category, I just have to squeal with glee and share a video from the blog post SUZE ORMAN KNOWS WE EXIST!!!

I had the great pleasure of speaking at Mint.com two weeks ago (hi Vu and team!) — a fangirl dream come true, seeing as I mention Mint in just about every money post.
