Episode Description
Today we welcome Karen Lee, Founder of Karen Lee and Associates, LLC in Atlanta, Financial Advisor and frequent contributor to CNN. As we all confront rampant unemployment, widespread foreclosures and plummeting home values, not to mention intense debate in Washington over how drastically to gut the retirement and health care benefits that millions have relied upon for generations, it’s safe to say that financial stress for many Americans is at an all time high. In her new book It’s Just Money, So Why Does It Cause So Many Problems? Karen offers the fundamental understanding that conflict and worry regarding financial issues is almost never “just” about money. Instead, lessons learned during childhood, diverging financial perspectives between spouses and business partners, and the temptation to reap rewards without laying the necessary foundation are all important factors when it comes to achieving our financial goals.
