Kaur shares: “The first thing to note is that a lot of the negative stereotypes we have around money aren't always fact. When we surveyed our community, they only rated themselves a 3 out of 5 when it came to their financial literacy, yet they all have higher than average savings, investments, retirement funds, and incomes.”
“All my friends and family were really stressed,” Kaur shares. “And that's when I realized there's such a disconnect between financial literacy and being able to pick and choose stocks properly. So that's when I realized that it might be worth having a conversation about money. And so I made an Instagram and a Facebook group, which was a safe place for people in general — women and minorities specifically — because I wanted it to be an equitable education platform.
“At my first job, I did ask my colleagues who are a few years older than me much they make, because that would give me an idea of what to expect and more leverage to negotiate more. To me that's as easy of a conversation as asking them where they got their pants from. I don't think it needs to be secretive.”
