It’ll probably come as no surprise to you who the Money Queen is… but we’ll take no chances… and remove all doubt as to who Effie Zahos is!!! She is indeed the “Money” Queen… as in Money Magazine‘s finance editor for over 22 years! Well, we should say WAS the editor cos up until very recently, Effie decided to hang up her Money boots and walk in her own shoes instead… and she’s JUST released a brand new book, A Real Girl’s Guide to Money: From Converse to Louboutins!!
And today she’s sharing her best Money Hacks and financial tips so that you can stay on track of your hard-earned cash and make sure you have enough in retirement!

And, yep, if you hadn’t put two and two together yet… Effie’s personally worked alongside the likes of the Original Money Guru, Paul Clitheroe — our 200th episode’s very special guest — for a couple of, ahh, DECADES.

So you’re in VERY safe hands!

Bonnie, Lana and Erin have been best friends for almost 20 years and have seen each other through all the ups and downs of life: meeting and marrying their husbands, starting families (they now have nine beautiful kids between them) and juggling busy careers. But in 2014, they took a leap of faith together, quit their jobs and created Three Birds Renovations in pursuit of a more fulfilling life – working for themselves, doing something they loved, and with more family time.

Within a few short months of starting out they had successfully bought, renovated and sold their first property. Fast-forward to today and they’ve transformed nine houses (including 32 bedrooms, 18 bathrooms and 11 kitchens), amassed a gorgeous group of followers who make it all worthwhile and learned more than they ever could have imagined. They’ve poured all that hard-earned knowledge into their online renovation course, The Reno School. They started out flipping houses and then reno’d their forever homes … now they are wholly focused on inspiring and empowering women, anywhere in the world, to turn THEIR renovating dreams into REALITY.
