• What stocks she’s invested in, and how she decided on those
• If it’s okay to invest at a time when the market seems really high
• The number one thing people get wrong about earning their maximum potential
• Her 2 best salary negotiation tips

• Whether or not your career should be your passion + her thoughts on side hustles

I also wanted to include some of YOUR stories, so at both the beginning and the end of the episode, I’ll share your anonymous money confessions. I have more money confessions plus the money tips and tricks that have changed your life over on Instagram, so definitely check that out—I’m @lizmoody. And of course, Tori and I would both love to hear your feedback on this episode, anything you’ve learned, anything that comes up for you as you’re listening—I’d personally love to hear from other people with money anxiety or weird childhood money stories—so screenshot and tag me and her—she’s @herfirst100k.
