Wish you had a few money hacks to help with things like getting out of debt, finding the right assets to invest in, and growing your nest egg? The average person may not even know where to start! Today’s guest is using her platform to help simplify money concepts and improve financial literacy at a time when it is sorely lacking. Welcome back to another edition of the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Today, we’re joined by Nicole Lapin, founder of the Money News Network, host of Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin, and author of multiple New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling books, including Rich Bitch, Boss Bitch, Miss Independent, and Becoming Super Woman.
