Ana wants you to know
Ana loves to say that personal finance is personal. A single solution that applies to every situation doesn’t exist. Neither does a credit card that’s perfect for everyone or a universal budget. While it’s important to know and implement the best practices, it’s also crucial to remember that every situation is unique.
“We all live in our own money worlds,” Ana says. “Women and men inhabit different financial universes. So do Gen Z and baby boomers, big city dwellers and those in rural communities, single people and married couples. Different sets of values and circumstances dictate our financial lives. Be discerning in the personal finance advice you choose to follow and how you apply it.”
I share the advice I wish someone had shared with me a long time ago. I want my reader to find my words when they're most needed… and be able to make a better-informed financial decision because of something I've written. That's what keeps me going.
