Young Money With Tracey Bissett

After going through financial problems herself, Alyssa Davies discovered a need for a safe and non-judgemental space for people to discuss their finances. This discovery led to the creation of her finance blog, Mixed Up Money, which has now won Canadian Personal Finance Blog of the Year twice. Today Alyssa joins the show to discuss the importance of having open conversations about finances so that people can become educated and protect themselves from financial uncertainty. Listen in as she explains why having an emergency fund is crucial, as is having a backup fund that you can rely on in a relationship in case something happens later down the line. You will learn the importance of automating whatever you can, how to evaluate your safety net, and what to do if you’re experiencing financial abuse. “I recommend to all of my friends in relationships to have a backup fund because you never know what life will throw your way.” - Alyssa Davies This Week on Young Money: What a day in the life of Alyssa looks lik
