[@FiyahLife]

My boss of 14.5 years called me a “seat filler” after I told him my mom and grandma were sick. I requested if I could work from home to be available for rides, appointments, procedures etc. and was open to negotiating which days. He said NO! WE NEED YOU IN THE OFFICE FOR OPTICS. And this was a small family owned real estate business that promoted fam first. Anyway, I have been self-employed since 2018 and now coach women of color in their second season of life to be more self-confident and thrive on their own. Blessings!

[@nondisclosed8866]

Making financial education for middle school kids mandatory, that’s awesome 👏

[@houstonboychoir8400]

That was the most beautiful of the Erika Taught Me episodes. Thank you Tiffany for being you. What a blessing both of you women are.

[@joanncole9603]

My husband passed with cancer a little over a month ago. This episode so touched my heart. So much wisdom. THANK YOU BOTH.

[@AbdullahiAbdulkadir]

This is the most powerful episode yet. Erika with the K deserves a lot of credit for inviting Tiffany Aliche on the podcast. I generally listen to podcasts on Apple Podcasts or Google Podcasts, but I had to switch to KZbin to leave a remark. Thank you both again, Erika and Tiffany.

[@sharonescarlan9247]

I love this podcast with Tiffany. A lot of take aways from this especially on finding time to make yourself happy of what is enough and thinking of what I am doing now is "what for? ". Hustling and bustling with work and not able to get time to spend with loved ones is really hit me to the heart. Thank you Erika for sharing this podcast. God bless you more!

[@syckindahead]

I appreciate Tiffany's transparency in this conversation. I've attended her online webinar, have Get Good With Money and have shared it with family.

[@TheBeautiveLife]

Such a beautiful and authentic video. Thank you both of you for being open and vulnerable. I am so inspired by both of you... I hope people will finish this episode

[@modcafe]

The most wholesome conversation I listened to about money. Thank you for this.

[@theresan-c6770]

This is the most amazing video on finance, women supporting women, and empowerment. There are so many lessons I will take away and will hold for a lifetime. Thank you both

[@ygonzaga]

I LOVE this episode. It was so genuine. Tiffany did teach to understand what enough looks like. But it’s so hard to not be greedy. Amazing episode. It reaches the soul!!

[@christinedavis4402]

Erika, This fifty-nine year old woman has learned much from your podcast and KZbin channel, but this interview with Tiffany Aliche is my favorite so far. I loved that you two are so smart, strong, and yet vulnerable so that the important lessons of life are shared. Tiffany is right. You can do great work and take care of yourself. Thank you. You are blessed and a blessing.

[@dreameryoung38]

So has this 61 year old

[@tacrewgirl]

Great interview. I've followed Tiffany for a few years. Her message is always good.

[@akirebara]

This is one of the most amazing interviews you've done with a guest. It really comes down to when you've become financially independent, then you can start really focusing your energy and money more on the people you love. Because you never know when the last time you get to hug and kiss them.

[@mjlafalaise]

This was a life-changing, life-altering episode…. Incredible work ladies 💙

[@yanieblack7754]

Been supporting Tiffany for a long time. Glad you had her on the podcast. This episode made my allergies act up 🥹

[@carolbuck6891]

This was a great podcast, and an eye opener. My husband and I are working 7 days a week from before daylight to after dark. It is our own business, but it is wearing us out, and we miss so many things with our family. I am going to redouble my effort to find at least part time help. Thank you for these “make you think” editions.

[@richardjohnson7567]

There are some very good life lessons in this particularly if you listen to the entire podcast to the end. Thank you for this podcast.

[@breannadavis1581]

i recently lost my grandpa and my job told me they dont have space for those kinds of family issues. thank you so much i needed this

[@akirebara]

That thing about the side hustle is so good! I have met so many people who bought thousands of dollars on new cameras or lessons for this and that because they want to do aaa side hustle. You shouldn't be spending anything on a side hustle. Do what you already can given your current resources! I took a weekend job bagging groceries because you don't need any new skills for it.

[@silvercarnivore]

Power women being real. Thank you both for THIS!

[@richardbautista503]

On the brink of crying when she talked about her husband’s passing and what that taught her about life 😢😢😢

[@ziggyess]

Wow! Great podcast. This is just right timing for me. I just lost my 2 dogs this year(14/16 years). I would take back the days when i would have them and my mom beside me. Money is just a tool but spending time with the people and animals you love and what gives you joy is more important over anything else. Thank you for this.

[@Proserpina858]

wow! what an authentic conversation. the best of all erika's episodes ❤

[@feruzteame8854]

The best episode ever.

[@goingtobe2003]

I have watched three different interviews of this wonder woman and this one was the most touching. Thank you both!

[@user-nc4gs8bl4v]

I love this episode, so inspired by both of you, sometimes we are so occupied of just making money, more money and not knowing that there are more important in life than just money.

[@Investingcoachw]

Oooo so exciting to see you had Tiffany as a guest! Looking to gift some of her books this holiday. When I first got into the personal finance space YEARS back to learn myself it was Tiffany that taught me that we can increase our savings two ways; spend less and make more. Ideally we’re doing a combo of the two. ❤

[@miabarnett2452]

The Budgetnista has definitely helped me with my financial journey. I’m happy for your success and sorry for your loss Tiffany 💕

[@robynmorrison7714]

Thank you Erika & Tiffany for such a touching episode, I am grateful for what you taught me through your sharing. Sympathy for your loses.

[@jarreygue]

I loved this episode - so thought-provoking, financially helpful, and incredibly sincere. Tiffany was so open and genuine. Loved every minute of it. Thank you for this video!

[@wandasanchez551]

I loved this interview with Tiffany. She shared so many messages about what matters in life.

[@willie-chasecooper7234]

This interview had me in tears the entire time. I am so proud and in awe of both of you ladies. I gave watching both of you since seeing you on Instagram. I have yet to buckle down and really follow through with the plans both of you have laid out. I am now. I promise that I am going to get myself together and get on the right track of "financial wholeness" and "Erika taught me"

[@84vision]

Beautiful interview. I just discovered your channel and Tiffany’s content today. I will watch this again and continue working towards my financial goals. Thank you both!

[@doortovalue]

This is the podcast episode for me! So deeply resonates + added a ton of value. I have a better idea of my patterns now! Thanks Erika and Tiffany ❤️

[@patriciacruz186]

Im so glad I watched this episode! Despite all odds (not such a famous guest compared to others, in my case an unknown one tbh) this was my favorite, the most inspiring and deep. Today on Thanksgiving 2023 I'm also greatfull for Tiffany and what she just thought me ❤

[@broadwaymusicals9478]

I am going through so much of this. THANK YOU Erica for this and for Tiffany for bringing the REAL into my morning and my life is right where you both described in so many ways.❤

[@NeoYorquina4U]

My 2 favorite podcasters in one episode! 🔥 Informative messages per usual 👏🏾💐💕✨

[@sydneyslife19]

Man there were soooo many gems in this video I had to comment. I know I’ll be revisiting this. Appreciate the work both you ladies are doing.

[@user-bo7mc6sz5e]

Totally agree with her 💯….less is better n money is only good if ur comfortable n Happy..Helping others is also self satisfying as lone as ur balanced n enjoying what U do🙏🏼🌹

[@KirllPilipenko]

Good advices. Great that Tiffany pointed where she failed at the beginning and what’s very important in life.

[@lizziee596]

I was crying right along with you both 💗 Such a beautiful warm interview honestly one of the best interviews you've had and their all great. Thank you Erika for sharing and being vulnerable I have a couple months listening to you and I enjoy every video. Your amazing and don't forget to take time for yourself because your deserve it and you've worked very hard to be where you are. Lots of love and wishing you so many blessings 🙌 thank you again 🙏

[@becwickham]

Wow what an amazing podcast. Both your personal stories were so raw i burst into tears. Thankyou so much for sharing! And for the finance information it was so helpful, i am now working on financial wholeness.

[@bobbyboricua21]

This was an incredible interview Erika. Thank you both so much! 🙏🏽

[@Lisa-gi8vu]

That was very informational and deep. Thank you Erika and Tiffany.

[@tarafrancis1867]

Tiffany i've been where you are now since 8 years old not money but how important people we love are and always wanting to make memories even though I had no money. Once I began making money helping my family was my goal and I did it. I wish I heard this 15 years ago. I could have done it so much better with this information.

[@michaelyoon9355]

I've noticed that Nigerians tend to be very successful people that are family oriented

[@annadiaz4975]

Erika, Tiffany this was a great episode! So informative and special. Thank you!

[@erickab4747]

Wow. This was such a great conversation- so raw and genuine. I hope you have Tiffany on again…great reminder to us all about what really matters as we accumulate “wealth.”

[@TerrenceLCarpenter]

One thing I learned as I grew older, is that I’m an emotional person. ( not outwardly). I had a dog that died, the first thing I did was scrub everything of him. I believe I wiould do the same for a loved one, because I can’t imagine me be able to deal with the reminders everywhere in my face.

[@clairejeanderson]

Beautiful podcast. THANK YOU both.

[@AutumnTime]

This was a phenomenal episode! I definitely was not expecting to be crying by the end. lol. I feel like I’m walking away with great financial and life advice as well. I appreciate you both being vulnerable here. ❤❤❤

[@ouafa2007]

Tiffany is so smart but in the same time funny, with a positive mindset. 👍

[@lillianchukwueze]

Wow this episode was so amazing

[@veronicamartin7254]

That was a word!! I love Tiffany's financial advice, but her reflections abiut grief and what 'enough' is validated my thoughts❤

[@JC-ml2nw]

Regarding the 6 transfers per month on savings accounts: That regulation was lifted by the Fed about 3 years ago. "On April 28, 2020, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (Board) published an interim final rule to amend Regulation D (Reserve Requirements of Depository Institutions) to delete the six-per-month limit on convenient transfers from the “savings deposit” definition.

[@VinoCulture999]

Love you guys both! This podcast is very inspirational that gives you a different insight on life! Thank you!

[@LoveIrisGlow]

I love this so much! I always loved Tiffany, but this conversation was just beautiful ❤

[@theblackmax]

This is the best guess she ever had.

[@melaniedayne2979]

You guys made me cry. I absolutely love this episode ❤❤❤❤

[@ericturner2477]

This is such a good episode!

[@hermieabraham6078]

Amazing episode and my favourite from your podcast so far. It created so much thought and reflection for me. Thank you both for sharing your truth and being vulnerable. ❤🙏🏿

[@TeamStephon]

Great episode as always! Really enjoyed the conversation

[@jimmyforg1653]

What an amazing interview, oh my words may God continue to bless you throughout your journey and may your husband continue to rest bless fully in peace.

[@wendygregjay2217]

So so sorry for ur loss Tiffany. God bless u n keep u

[@dagmara.p23]

This was very touching episode. Thank you both for being so open and honest. This was a great lesson for me and I am sure for many people too.

[@ji2660]

This video was so good, informative and real.

[@yuliskarodriguez7892]

I enjoyed it a lot!! Tiffany is amazing and so inspiring ❤ thank you both for this

[@AlyssaMonetMason]

You're spirit is amazing Erika

[@cosmoshope3462]

[@brucebanksshow]

Top 5 guest. Easy.

[@testing123.]

[@sambixby]

This is Gold wrapped in Tiffany.....❤

[@lakeyacallaway2237]

I loved everything about this conversation! ❤️

[@dreameryoung38]

Loved the podcast, couldn't put it down,I follow both of you when I can

[@tayla3934]

This was a great episode! Thank you for sharing!

[@TerrenceLCarpenter]

My favorite episode. I don’t think Erika was actually listening at the end when her guest reminded her to take care of herself first. 😔

[@ouafa2007]

At the end it was really touching, deep feelings. 😢

[@nicolalong4121]

I love Tiffany!

[@queendidine]

Thank you!

[@ljm04d]

Amazing interview!

[@Progressive.G]

This is a great podcast

[@jerrilynn3331]

wonderful interview. :.....

[@sybille1234]

That was so good, thank you!

[@clefnoteproductions6695]

If the man's ego can handle his wife or girlfriend making more than him, why not? On the other hand, if you come across a guy with a fragile misogynistic ego, then I'd pass on that

[@yurifarts3443]

I think it’s because of the way life used to to be, men provides for his wife and kids and the wife not only creates children but raises them. When men don’t provide they feel useless. Men need to adapt and to this new reality and become more than just providers like back in the day.

[@tattoodrdoke]

​@yurifarts3443 whoever earns the most goes to work and who earns the least looks after the children. It makes perfect sense and is logical. kids or no kida who cares who earns the most as long as you are both happy in the relationship.

[@ForeignFlexTv]

Nah Just a woman’s nature to want a Man to take care of her It’s nature

[@cosmoshope3462]

@ 44:19 min, Tiff talks about dating someone with more or less.

[@NandiphaLuwaca]

💐

[@michellee7328]

❤❤❤❤

[@stefaniamirri1112]

Why the greedy title of the video doesnt match with the content title given by Erika?

[@ThinWaistedPrimaDonna]

You can date him, but you should not marry him and join assets. He should not know how much you earn or have. Keep everything separate. Love and marriage should have nothing to do with the woman’s finances. The man, in a patriarchal system, is required to bare the financial responsibility. If he relies on his wife to support him, he is going to resent her and become a threat to her safety. He should strive to out earn the men that his woman has access to. His competition is other men. But if he feels the need to compete with his woman instead of compliment her, he is a disaster waiting to happen.

[@heather5130]

Erica what is your customer service contact info for your youtube course? I am interested in taking it, but dont find any customer service email on your website. You may need to update your website, I called one of the contact number on your website, it turned out to be a sex hotline😅

[@TerrenceLCarpenter]

Hope ,is a scammer’s greAtest allie

[@bablusharma7691]

I loved the video, However I think your thumbnails are stopping you from getting the views you deserve, Would love to collaborate with you on this.
