(I mean, $1.56 trillion?!)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But to be honest, my answer is&nbsp;pretty simple:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Make more money (you\u2019re probably underpaid!), and then,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Make that money work for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;There are no special ~tips n\u2019 tricks~ to Step 1; odds are, if you\u2019re a woman and especially a person of color, you\u2019re likely being underpaid. Can you magically squeeze more water out of an empty cup? Nope. You can\u2019t pressure yourself to save money if you don\u2019t make enough to cover your monthly survival expenses, either.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve got a decent cash flow and you\u2019re just trying to get your wallet in order, then Step 2 is all you (and me!). I\u2019ll lead you through a couple easy steps to take to create some savings goals that are crystal clear, actually attainable, and for finance\u2019s sake \u2014 legitimately fun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you pick up any new tips or find out something super insightful from&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heyberna.com\/meetberna\" target=\"_blank\">Berna\u2019s<\/a>&nbsp;video?
