Quotes:
“How many women don’t persist? Because they can’t. They make very rational choices to quit, or to stay where they’re at, or whatever. I think about the societal progress that we’re missing because we’re really holding back half of society. Half of the brain power, right? — Amy
“I’m not saying we have to be confrontational or rude or any of those things, but we have to be persistent and we have to be resilient. Don’t make yourself smaller, because we’ve already been going through that for a billion years. And to your point, Amy, if all women were able to do their job on an even playing field, not only would society be more productive, there’d be a million new inventions and things going on in the world, and our global economic — Kimberlee

33. Divorce And Your Money | An Interview with Jean Chatzky from HerMoney
The Fiscal Feminist
In today's talk, we discuss the complex relationships that women have with money. How we earn it, how we save it, invest it, and spend it... and those relationships can get even more complex when our personal relationships — specifically, our marriages — come to an end.

36. How to Become a Fiscal Feminist & Take Charge of Your Money
The Fiscal Feminist
Women have been largely overlooked in money conversations and you know the stats, we earn less, live longer, and so much more. We definitely get the short end of the equality stick a lot. So it’s even more important, no, make that critical, that we as women learn how to have fiscal freedom.
I'll share the must-know money lessons that every woman needs to know and holds your hand through some serious topics like divorce, prenups and postnups, and all those money topics that you’d rather hide from. My message is that you need to become the CEO of your life. Join us for this inspiring episode that feels like a fun information overload, in the best way possible, and a wild ride with Shannah Compton Game. Let’s get talkin’.

21. The Fiscal Feminist Tied the Knot - Now, Meet the Man
The Fiscal Feminist
I recorded this special podcast with Mark, my husband of one month!
As the Fiscal Feminist, I frequently speak to how our personal relationships and finance are intertwined and how best to circumnavigate this occasionally tricky area. Open and honest discussions about money and finances are a must in our personal relationships to prevent them from being harmed by financial stress and confusion.
In this podcast, Mark and I discuss his thoughts on The Fiscal Feminist platform, negotiating our cohabitation agreement/prenuptial agreement, and how we have handled the “money” discussion. Listen in to hear what my other half really thinks about it all!

15. Let's Declare Our Own Financial Independence Day!
The Fiscal Feminist
There is no real “absolute” definition of financial independence. Some people may think it means retiring at 40 but that is a very myopic view of it. Rather, I would like to define “financial independence” to mean the ability to live without financial fear during the roller coaster ride of life because you are prepared enough to deal with life’s ups and downs without going into debt, sacrificing and skimping on necessities. It is the ability to live your life as you desire within reasonable parameters, to be able to breathe. It doesn’t mean you never have to work another day in your life, but it does mean you have the freedom to pivot by quitting a job you don’t like, going back to school, starting a new business, or pursuing a new course in life without major upheaval. Freedom to choose, to have options.

14. How did your investment portfolio perform during the Covid-19 Crisis?
The Fiscal Feminist
The past few months have been a real roller coaster ride in the stock market. Many people are fearful of the volatility in the stock market and are irrationally driven by fear to cash out of their strategy and become less inclined to invest in the future. In a March 2020 survey, over one third of adults reported that they were less likely to invest in the stock market based on what they knew about the coronavirus. Only 12 percent of respondents said they were more likely to invest. Hmmmm.... I think these statistics demonstrate panicked and NOT prudent decision making.

13. Raiding Your Retirement Savings – is this EVER a good idea?
The Fiscal Feminist
As we all know, life is far from linear and sometimes things happen unexpectedly that totally disrupt our flow and require some creative thinking to address. You know the saying, “desperate times call for desperate measures.” Dipping into one’s retirement savings qualifies as a “desperate measure” and sometimes we might think there is no alternative.
