So Money with Farnoosh Torabi

 Are you a financial grownup? I hope you are. Welcome to So Money, I’m your host Farnoosh Torabi. If you would say so, what was your grownup money moment then? Mine was probably when I stopped being on my parent’s family cellphone plan right after college. I’m actually surprised to learn some of my friends are still on their family plans and not paying their parents their fair share. I know that it’s not that much money at the end of the day, maybe if your parents can afford it. But if you’re not paying your own mobile minutes and you’re in your 20’s, 30’s, come on. It’s the principle, right? Let’s get with the program. My guest today actually spent years capturing financial lessons from some of the world’s most well-known business leaders and she’s documented the whole thing in her book, How to Be a Financial Grownup: Proven advice form high achievers on how to live your dreams and have financial freedom. Bobbi Rebell is here. She is an award winning journalist, she leads the US business video unit for Reuters where she’s in charge of anchoring business reports, interviewing top news makers and reporting on breaking news. I don’t know how she found time to do this book, but it’s excellent and she actually does talk about how she managed her time. It’s really interesting. Her book, by the way, features stories from previous So Money guests with really insights I had never heard before from Tony Robbins and Jim Kramer. She also talks to big entrepreneurs and CEO’s like Macey’s CEO, Terry Lundgren. Also the entrepreneur and first daughter to be, Ivanka Trump. Listen to hear about her financial grownup moment and how it happened while traveling with her mother, not so much her dad.
