  • How your vote impacts your bank account

    How your vote impacts your bank account
    Oct 31 2024
    No matter if it is a larger scale like a presidential election or smaller local election, it is every American’s civic duty to vote. Not only does every vote matter, but voting impacts everything, especially your bank account. In this week’s episode of Money Glow Up, our host Tiffany Aliche speaks to New Jersey State Sen. Angela V. McKnight, a Democrat, about the importance of voting, and how participating in elections can directly impact your bottom line. “Voting has a huge impact on your bank account,” Sen. McKnight says. By casting your vote in elections, you have the potential to elect officials who can enact legislation that affects things like the federal minimum wage rate, student loan debt forgiveness, home values, and many other things that could impact the amount of money in your pocket. If loans are forgiven, or the minimum wage gets lifted, that’s more money directly in your pocket that you can put towards other areas in your life. Your ability to enact change on a political level that impacts your own finances can extend beyond voting in elections, too. It’s possible to work with elected officials to help pass legislation, much like Aliche did with her “Budgetnista” law, or you can even run for office yourself! Your voice matters, and by voting and getting involved in politics, you can make a difference to your life, your community, and your bottom line.

    Financial mistakes happen, but it's not too late to recover
    Oct 24 2024
    Though we try our best to avoid them, financial mistakes happen. According to a report from the National Financial Educators Council, a lack of financial knowledge cost Americans on average $1500 per person per year! Whether it be from poor budgeting, overusing credit cards, careless spending, or whatever negatively impacts your wallet, financial mistakes can pile up and trying to improve your situation can feel insurmountable. But have no fear, we’re here to help! In this week’s episode of Money Glow Up, our host Tiffany Aliche speaks to Jamila T. Davis, author, educator, activist, and entrepreneur, about financial mistakes and whether or not people are able to recover from them. Davis speaks of her experience firsthand, as her financial errors led her to a 12-year prison sentence where she lost everything. Not only did Davis use this experience to learn from her mistakes, but she used what she learned about business and finances, as well as her entrepreneurial spirit, to hustle and rebuild her wealth in just seven years. “You can come back from everything,” Davis says. After being given a second chance she believes hard work, entrepreneurship, and creating and sticking to a plan can make all the difference. “Get wise, create the plan, and then stay focused and execute.” Together with Yahoo Finance, Tiffany Alice creates a space to share real and inspiring money stories, learn financial fundamentals, and build your future.

  • Why you can't afford not to travel

    Why you can't afford not to travel
    Oct 10 2024
    What was once a simple post of a vista snapshot, overlaid with a stylized filter, and captioned #travelphotography, has given way to an industry of travel influencers who make their living selling global experiences via social media. Nothing wrong with that on its own; but the dark side of this social media craze is that it has distorted reality, teaching many that travel is a luxury that they are not invited to enjoy. To set the record straight, Money Glow Up host Tiffany Aliche spoke with Nomadness Travel Tribe and Nomadness TV founder Evita Robinson to teach you how to travel affordably and safely when most people feel like they can't travel at all. “People are doing everything for the 'gram. They're doing everything for the picture. It's about getting the expensive dress and the expensive bag and standing in front of that, you know, landmark that everybody wants. And it's actually doing detriment to some of the local communities,” she explained. But there's hope! Robinson offers travel tips for a range of needs and comfortabilities, such as group travel, deal-finding digital products, and thinking local for more affordable adventures. The reason she won't let anyone feel discouraged is because of how essential she believes travel to be in a person's life: "Travel has become a conduit for us getting to know ourselves. So self-care is a huge part of it...travel's like, intense character development." Watch this week's episode to tap into your travel future.

  • How dressing for success can give your career a makeover

    How dressing for success can give your career a makeover
    Oct 3 2024
    When so much of communication is nonverbal, your wardrobe plays a huge role in that. On this episode of Money Glow Up, host Tiffany Aliche spoke with Harlem's Fashion Row CEO & Founder Brandice Daniel about how your workwear can help or hinder your career. She told Aliche that, "That means that you're speaking the moment you walk into a room. You're saying something, by the way, your posture is by your eye contact. By what you're wearing and how you feel and what you're wearing." If you're looking to signal to your bosses or a future workplace that you are a good candidate, let them judge the confidence that comes with wearing something that makes you feel good. Daniel went on to also offer tangible tips to affordable and appropriate fashion—even with ways to avoid fast fashion. "If you want inexpensive fashion, I prefer for you to go thrifting and get it tailored than to shop fast fashion," she explained.

  • What is the real cost of entrepreneurship?

    What is the real cost of entrepreneurship?
    Sep 26 2024
    With 33 million small businesses in the US employing 46.4% of all private sector employees, entrepreneurs make up the backbone of American business. But is entrepreneurship all that it's cracked up to be? Does running a small business fast-track you to personal wealth? Do legacy entrepreneurs have it easy? "The Budgetnista" Tiffany Aliche chats with Elegant Eyes Head of Business Growth and Operations Cabral Miller about his unique journey with entrepreneurship. As not only a child of a legacy business, but a grandchild as well, Miller has spent his whole life learning first-hand what it takes to make a small business succeed—and what it takes to fail. Miller discussed how entrepreneurism is not a golden ticket to success. "It comes with a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. I remember days of sleeping in the store because I knew I had so much to do. I knew I didn't have anybody who I could afford to pay to do it. I remember weeks and months of no pay. Those are misconceptions of entrepreneurialism," Miller explained.

  • Is money stressing you out? How financial therapy may help

    Is money stressing you out? How financial therapy may help
    Sep 19 2024
    Having an unhealthy relationship with money could inhibit long-term personal wealth. You might feel as if being in debt means you can't have any fun, and that money should only go toward paying off bills. That is not only limiting, but unrealistic. Everything in life becomes about avoiding temptation, instead of looking at healthy and practical ways to spend and save. But there is hope... "The Budgetnista" Tiffany Aliche sits down with financial therapist, Aja Evans, for a discussion where money meets mental health. Financial therapy combines advice and emotional support, helping people manage financial stress which negatively impacts their family, work, and all other aspects of their lives. Evans explains that "the thing about financial therapy is that it really doesn't matter how much money you make. Okay. Some people could be millionaires and they're doing great, but still have these feelings of financial trauma of, 'Oh my God, am I gonna make my bills? Is this gonna be okay? Can I provide for myself or my family?' And that stress really kind of shifts our perception of what is safe and what's not."
