Quotes from this episode:
“Growing up as a Black American in the U.S., money and finances were very important as a means of economic mobility. So I think my mom learned at an early age—to use her financial discipline to build a way out of the south side of Chicago—and climb up the social ladder.” — Jada Haynes [4:14]
“I think because [my mom] really valued the tool of financial success, she passed that on to my sister and me—and ingrained that in us from a lens of money management, budgeting, and saving.” — Jada Haynes [5:06]
“Something that I can see as beneficial for a lot of people that use this service is really about how you can better understand your benefits. I love the fact that Financial Finesse has a strong relationship with my employer, and they understand the intricacies and complexities of the benefits and are able to give me unbiased opinions on what I should be doing and what I should be thinking about.” — Jada Haynes [21:36]
