This week, we released a podcast episode with Cameron Rogers, a Private Wealth Advisor at Ellevest (you can find it here). While this episode is one of our longest ones yet and has a wealth of information, we understand that money is a very broad — and let’s be honest, scary — topic. It’s hard to even know where to start if you’re new to topics like investing and growing wealth. So, we asked Cameron for her favorite resources for learning about money. From finding a financial advisor to learning about the best high yield savings accounts, here are her top picks for websites, podcasts, and newsletters.
P.S. — The Reimagined team actively use most of these resources as well!
