Bernadette's Money Story

Growing up, Bernadette watched her mother work tirelessly to make ends meet, instilling in her the values of hard work, perseverance, and the importance of living within one’s means. Despite the financial challenges they faced, her mother’s unwavering commitment to budgeting and planning for retirement left a profound and lasting impact on Bernadette. These early lessons shaped her own financial philosophy, reinforcing the importance of saving and thoughtful financial planning. Today, Bernadette and her husband have passed on these values to their adult children, continuing the legacy of responsibility and foresight.
