In my opinion, the teacher profession as a whole is experiencing money trauma. We have a collective experience of being underpaid and overworked for our educational attainment and that has had real psychological effects. Matt and I discuss these teacher money mindsets today in the first of 2 episodes focusing on this key topic. You won’t want to miss this great conversation!

Key Ideas
We address head on the belief that teachers don’t make enough. This isn’t always true!
We also discuss the belief that finance is too complicated. Teachers are some of the most talent people in the world, finance definitely isn’t too complex!
We address the belief that wanting money is greedy. There is nothing wrong with want to be paid your worth.
We also discuss how to view the world with a growth mindset when it comes to your money.
Bonus Tip
Here is a bonus tip I didn't get to in the episode.
Those who can’t teach only do. If you can handle 37 kids in one classroom then you can learn finances. Finance math is simple enough a 4th grader can do it. So a teacher like you has this covered! Don’t shy away from learning these ideas, you can do it!
