Are you good with money?

It's a hard question to answer and naturally, we instantly start to compare ourselves to other people in our lives. But the question wasn't 'are we better than those around us' it was are we objectively good?

Emma Edwards has written the book (literally) on being good with money. In this conversation we unpacked what being good with money means to her and how we can all take the next steps to get better (and hopefully ultimately, good) with money.
