Michelle Singletary: What I Learned About Money from my Grandma | Afford Anything Podcast (Audio)

Michelle Singletary learned everything she knows about money from her grandmother.

Well, okay, I shouldn’t say “everything” that she knows. After all, Michelle also has an MBA from Johns Hopkins University. She writes about personal finance for the Washington Post. Her nationally-syndicated personal finance column, The Color of Money, is published in more than 100 newspapers nationwide. She’s written three financial books.

Oh, and guess what? Her column was nominated for a Pulitzer.

Michelle has been learning, thinking, writing, researching and speaking about money management for decades. Yet the most important education she received, she says, came from the lessons her grandmother taught her.

Her grandmother raised five grandchildren while working full-time with a meager wage. Michelle remembers looking in the refrigerator and realizing that there was nothing to eat. Yet her grandmother was never ashamed of their situation. She was resourceful. She made the best of the situation. She was humble. She worked hard. She taught her grandchildren to become independent, successful and contributing humans.

Today, Michelle joins us on the Afford Anything podcast to talk about what she learned about financial independence, and her views on the FIRE movement.
