#132: How to Teach Your Children About Money with Keli Calderon
“I just think there’s a lot of shame around money. I think there’s a lot of shame of not having enough, a lot of shame of having too much, of maybe how you got it - maybe you’re not proud of your job.” -Keli Calderon
Keli Calderon knows what is like to be in financial distress. In her financial history she has declared bankruptcy and even had a car repossessed!
