Jen's lack of financial acumen (or even awareness) prior to Brandon leaving was one area where she was quite honest in her shortcomings, and she actually did the work and buckled down, sold the lake house, made the tough phone calls, got a handle on things, and kind of landed on her feet. Is she still a spending fool? It appears so. But she is miles ahead of the person she was in 2020.

While her current revenue seems contingent upon daily shilling, Sis did have to face the music at one point, which ain't easy. Heck, it is too easy for me to not pay enough attention to my own finances and put off the anxious scrutinizing of charges and the tough convos about retirement planning, etc.

Too many free resources out there. I always recommend starting even with your local library and asking workers there to point you in the right direction.

I’m not convinced she knows anything, much less has anything to teach about finances. She’s definitely still spending, I can’t see any source of income, except her occasional speaking engagements. No matter how smart you are with investing you still have to have more money coming in than out.

Agreed! Financial literacy is so important, and married couples especially should be on the same page. But an online video by Jen Hatmaker (of all people), should be the LAST place you get financial advice from.
