About this listen
Today I have the privilege of talking to Jennifer Welsch.
Jennifer spends her time demystifying the stock market for new investors. She was introduced to investing in 2008 when the stock markets crashed along with the economy. I was a waitress in Chicago, scraping by and accumulating credit card debt like a competitive sport. My dad was a stockbroker. My dad said “If you have any interest in investing, now is the time to start. Everything’s on sale.”
After landing a great job in New York City with a start-up, Jennifer’s interest in investing took a backseat but resurfaced during the crash of 2020. Since then, she has been obsessed and has helped many people on how to approach investing.
We had a great time talking about her career, her experience with credit card debt, and some of the tips she has for graduates in terms of personal finances.
Getting your personal finance right in your early twenties is so important. It will make all the difference.
