Three things for an employee to look at if your ESOP company is sold:

1️⃣ What does this mean for you financially? It’s important to be clear on the details – price per share, deal structure, and your voting rights are all important considerations.

2️⃣ How and when you’ll get paid – this varies, so it is important to be clear on the details about vesting, payout timing, and form of payment to expect.

3️⃣ Taxes and distribution options – for many employees, this may be the largest sum of money ever received, so it’s important to understand how it is taxed and how it fits in your overall financial plan.

Don’t go it alone – I can help you understand these considerations and more. Let’s connect.

✨ Girl Money Episode 19 is live! ✨

Today’s Girl Money topic: The Disorganization Tax 💸

“Wait… I’m still paying for THAT?” 👀

From forgotten subscriptions and late fees to duplicate purchases and money slipping through the cracks, being disorganized with your finances can cost you more than you realize. Sometimes, it’s not about needing to make more money. It’s about knowing where the money you already make is going!

A little organization can go a long way. Review your subscriptions, check your recurring payments, and create a system that helps you keep track of your money before it disappears on autopilot.

And this week, I have a special guest joining me as the fun cohost… Peanut! 🐾 He may not be contributing financially to the household, but he’s certainly contributing to the entertainment. 😂

Making money talk feel like girl talk, one Monday at a time. 💕
