021: Smart Mom, Rich Mom: Kimberly Palmer

Kimberly Palmer writes, speaks and teaches about making smart money and life choices.

 

She’s married and has two children, teaches a class on social media, has a full-time job as a writer/editor with AARP and has an Etsy shop. Her third book, "Smart Mom, Rich Mom: How to Build Wealth While Raising a Family" has just been released! 

 

Kimberly takes a multi-generational approach to her work, honoring the wisdom of mothers of all ages. In this discussion she shares how a letter about money that her mother wrote to her when she was 21 inspired and informed her work. She also discusses:

Juggling family, a job, a writing career, an Etsy shop, and teaching social media classes,

Wisdom from her new book with advice for women at all stages of mothering,

Pitching and winning her first book deal,

Setting and tracking weekly, monthly, and yearly goals,

The many possibilities for new empty-nesters,

Giving an allowance,

Teaching children about money,

Reading The Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf as a young teen, and

The value of visiting the library.
