About the Episode

LifeBlood: We talked about how much money to be saving on a monthly basis to position yourself for success. 

We discussed how Amanda’s desire to make a positive impact led her first into the nonprofit world, and how her perspective on how local business can impact communities motivated her to move into the financial industry.  What her experience has been and how she has been able to increase the impact that she’s able to have on the lives of other small business owners, families and individuals, and through that, the communities they live in. 

We talked about the challenges faced by the Greatest Generation, the people who lived through War and Depression, and how their view and perspective on money was vastly different than many people’s today.  

We discussed what lessons can be taken from that time and applied today, and why those principles are as relevant today as they were back then, why these important lessons aren’t talked about as much in mainstream media and culture, and how to get back to them. 

We talked about a framework for saving that anyone can implement, a financial tool that can be utilized, and how to get startedwith Amanda Neely, Cash Flow Specialist, Profit-First Professional and host of the Grandma’s Wealth Wisdom podcast.  

Listen to learn how to be more creative in solving your problems instead of simply turning to money as the only solution and the benefits that can bring!
