  • Should She Take the $25K Raise or Protect Her Peace?

    Should She Take the $25K Raise or Protect Her Peace?
    Feb 28 2025
    Listen up, BA Fam! Mandi’s bringing the 🔥 with special guests Yanely (Miss Be Helpful) and Chris (Popcorn Finance) for a no-holds-barred Q&A that’ll have you nodding, laughing, and maybe feeling a little called out (in the best way). First up: Kerry’s caught between a rock and a hard place. Her husband’s unemployed after dragging the family across the country, and now she’s staring down a $75K job offer that sounds like a chaotic nightmare compared to her current $50K gig. Should she sacrifice her sanity for that extra cheddar? Then Sasha comes clean about how she let lifestyle inflation wreck her finances. Despite doubling her income to $90K, she’s drowning in $34K of credit card debt. Got a question you want us to answer?

Amazing Podcast!

Tiffany and Mandi are amazing! This podcast is like The View meets finace. it's a weekly catch up between friends where major knowledge is shared. The financial information is not overwhelming, but enough to make one take action in her own life. Mandi answers questions emailed to her, immediately, so these ladies definitely, walk the walk when they say that their aim is to help women. Listening to them is like having a good laugh with friends that have truly helped me to change my life, and my financial trajectory. I love these ladies and look forward to hearing from them weekly.

Energized for Financial Success

One of the best dialogues around money growth and financial protection. I admit 2020 has me completely focused on personal success forever more. No excuses.... you got time.... where you going??? Stop the laziness and listen and learn. I planted my “acorn”and these ladies speak the truth and they are relatable. Sip your coffee, tea, and water and just listen n learn. Choose growth and joy!!
