Hopefully you’ve gotten the chance to hear many financial experts that I’ve had on the show, including Debbie herself who was here on <a href="http://jewishlatinprincess.com/episode-8-debbie-sassen-financial-planner-money-coach/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Episode 8</a>. As you learned on that Episode Debbie started her career as a Financial Analyst at Goldman Sachs in NY and London. She later on was a Portfolio Manager and Economist at The Bank of Israel and at that time she had a financial wake up call and decided to get serious about her personal finance. As a result Debbie eventually started teaching people like you and me how to manage their money.

I tried to keep the conversation very focused in clarifying the importance of investing and the terminology around investing so that we could really demystify it for you.<br> And hopefully, you will want to join her course <a href="http://debbiesassen.thinkific.com/courses/wealth?ref=13b10d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Smart Women Build Wealth</a>, and make 2018 the year where you turn your financial situation around and take the necessary steps to feel empowered around money and in control of your money and financial life.
