Money Conversations with KJ

KJ is a life-long entrepreneur who has made a lot of money, lost a lot of money, and found his way back again. If you’re looking for a sterile “how-to”, then you’ve come to wrong place.

Each episode will offer lessons learned, advice on how to replicate successes and avoid pitfalls, and a new perspective to power your financial literacy. Far from a one size fits all, this podcast can help you build a roadmap to your personal promised land (milk and honey for some, whiskey and steak for others), and remind you that you’re not alone on the journey.

083: After Some Trouble In Vernon's Life, He Decided To Improve And Transition To Become A Lawyer

May 24, 2023 • Kevin / Vernon Evans • Episode 83

In this episode you will hear Vernon talk about when he was young, his Mom was the one who raised him and his sister and he saw that she was a spender. Vernon would observe his Mom and others around him so he decided he wanted to be a saver. Vernon liked to save up enough of his lunch money, watch it grow and buy video games. When Vernon's cousin went to play in the NFL he saw what money advantages could bring you, so he decided that is what he wanted. When Vernon got his 1st credit card on the college campus his first thought was 'this is free money' because nobody tells you how credit works and how you should use the credit card. Vernon learned the importance of setting Goals and started writing them down more consistently about 10 years ago but actually started about 20 years ago and that was after he was arrested. Wanting to improve and transition his life and possibly become a lawyer, Vernon started reading a lot of books about successful people's lives. Continue listening to Vernon's story, it is a great story.
