Are you guilty of financial fornication? Do you have a side-piece account? Credit dis-ease? Or financial STDs? Have you had a financial one-night stand you’re not proud of?

If you ask Madam Money Tarra Jackson, money is a lot like sex. It can be dangerous if we abuse its power without protection. Tarra is a popular personal finance expert, TV and radio personality, and international speaker with 25 years of experience in the financial services industry. She is also the bestselling author of 4 Financial Languages: The Secrets to Communicating About Money and Financial Fornication: Avoid Financial and Credit Dis-ease.

On this episode of Queer Money, Tarra joins us to discuss why avoiding financial promiscuity is challenging and how to find the right cure for your financial or credit dis-ease. Tarra explains the difference between a side-piece account versus a true savings account. She shares her best strategies for setting boundaries with money to avoid substantially tremendous debt, aka financial STDs.
