Why 2025 Is Your Money Management Year

---

Scarlett Cochran became pregnant at 19. As a single mom, she had to quickly find work but soon found herself in a dead-end job that paid about $25,000 a year. She knew she needed to make a change, so started with small steps in the right direction. Growing up, Cochran came from a family where finances were always a tension point. It drove a wedge between her parents, so learning about money or having open conversations as a family never happened. She joins us today to share her journey and how she was able to reinvent herself by going back to school and sticking to a strict budget.
