Take Charge Of Your Money podcast with Brendan Dale
Episode 7 - 28 February 2022
Sponsored by Naked - The new way to insure your stuff
In this interview I chat to Esther Mukumbo about her investing journey. Where she started and how she learnt about investing. She was in her 30's when she realised that she was literally just living pay-check to pay-check and that's when she decided to really take charge of her finances and sort things out!

Ess really encourages new investors to start with ETF's (Exchange Traded Funds) and you can read my post here on what ETF's are all about.
Some great encouragement from Ess includes:
- It's never too late to start investing - just do it!
- You may have debt, you may have made mistakes, it's okay. Learn from them and move forward.
- Start by understanding where you are and when you want to be.
- Start small and practice!
- Go in it for the long-term and let compounding growth do it's magic
