Stop the Money Madness

August 04, 2017

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, college grad or retired Goldman partner, you’ve probably experienced some form money anxiety. For a tiny piece of paper, money possesses this incredible power to trigger intense feelings such as FOMO, envy, inadequacy and outright fear (aka the poverty mindset). And it never ceases to amaze me how rational people (and many finance professionals) turn a complete blind eye to this important area of their lives.

Today’s guest, Ashley Feinstein Gerstley coaches people (like me) out of their own money madness. Ashley’s a coach and creator of the Fiscal Femme blog. But our listeners will relate to her story: she started as an Investment banker and grew the Fiscal Femme as side hustle until finally jumping off into entrepreneurship. Her advice is particularly spicy for entrepreneurs, and we discuss how much runway is enough, “death by a thousand small withdrawals” (my personal favorite), the dangerous belief that we can out-earn our expenses, and how avoiding the topic is really avoiding accountability.
