Leverage the tools and resources that can help you help yourself.” “Give yourself that grace. We’re all making money mistakes.” “Money is not anything. It&#39;s a tool. It doesn&#39;t make you good, it doesn&#39;t make you evil, it doesn&#39;t make you kind, it doesn&#39;t make you hideous… it… amplifies who you are. If you&#39;re a good person, you&#39;re a great person with money. If you&#39;re an evil person, you&#39;re a worse person with money. It’s a tool.” Learn more about Bola: https://www.clevergirlfinance.com/ Clever Girl Finance Book Series https://www.amazon.com/stores/Bola-Sokunbi/author/B076GP7FS3 Bola’s book, Choosing To Prosper  https://www.amazon.com/Choosing-Prosper-Triumphing-Adversity-Achieving-ebook/dp/B0B4V644NT The Clever Girls Know Podcast https://www.clevergirlfinance.com/podcast/ Clever Girl Finance on social media https://www.instagram.com/clevergirlfinance/ https://www.youtube.com/clevergirlfinance https://www.facebook.com/clevergirlfinance/ Connect with me:  http://www.stillbeingmolly.com http://instagram.com/stillbeingmolly http://instagram.com/canilau
