We heard some great advice about finding a savings with your rent, and that's just scratching the surface! To continue our Financial Literacy theme this month, we're going to talk about how to actively take control of your earnings and make the most of them!

Whether you're a tipped employee with variable income, or make a base salary, taking control of your personal finances (which means finally facing that pesky debt) is an empowering step to financial freedom and building wealth. From clipping coupons to working a side hustle, we're going to lay out a ton of options on how to best approach managing money.

Joining us to talk about this topic is Candice Latham. She was born and raised in inner city Boston. She used her skills from her nine-to-five ad agency job to start her own design business. Through hard work and smart moves, she paid off $47,000 in debt and started investing, going from a negative net worth to a positive one. Candice's money history is not unlike that of many restaurant workers, who may have student loans to pay off or are working with less income right now -- we hope her story inspires and educates you on how to turn your money woes into a thing of the past.
