What does it mean to be financially independent? When you are financially independent it means that you are the architect of your finances. You are in control of the day to day financial affairs that concern your life. It means being financially empowered and being able to support yourself without any outside help by taking control of your finances. How can women build their credit to get a loan? First, you must take steps to boost your financial knowledge then organize your financial life with proper planning, set goals and stay in-the-know. You must be the boss of your money. One of the simplest ways I always recommend is using companies that monitors your credit profile, these companies also offer other services to assist you with building your credit. What can someone do to prepare to own a home? First figure out what your needs are this includes the size of your family and the location where you want to live, this will give you an idea of the price of the houses for that particular neighborhood and how much you will need to save for the purchasing of a home . next get your credit in order then consult with a mortgage professional to get pre-qualified for a mortgage, they will let you know how much house you can afford, then you can start your search. What are the types of loans people should be aware of? Are there certain banks that are better to work with than others? There are all types of mortgage companies or financial companies that are available to Buyers for Home Loans according to your financial situations. Tell us a little about your Philanthropic work? In my philanthropy, I help women and families who are in need of housing by partnering with Habitat for Humanity in building homes throughout the communities. Through this process, it has heightened my thought process regarding the need for increased education regarding credit, budgeting and savings amongst low and middle-income earners and specifically women.
