She begins by debunking the negativity surrounding this concept, emphasizing that it's neither impossible nor new. Elle introduces us to the concept of "Mrs. Watanabe". This term symbolizes the collective of Japanese housewives who, besides managing their household's finances, have also become influential players in the financial market. Through the story of Mrs. Watanabe, Elle underscores the importance of financial literacy and the role it plays in achieving financial security. She encourages listeners to arm themselves with the tools of financial literacy, asserting that this knowledge will bring peace of mind and security in their lives. Elle further delves into the importance of community in achieving financial independence. Drawing parallels with the Mrs. Watanabes of Japan, she emphasizes how these women leverage their community to share information, guide each other, and provide mutual support. She encourages her listeners to establish their own "spoiled girlie" community, emphasizing that one doesn't need to be a sophisticated investor to participate in financial growth and security. The podcast episode concludes with Elle reminding her listeners that a core part of being a spoiled girlie is taking ownership of your life, which includes being financially secure. She encourages listeners to have faith in themselves, seek knowledge, cultivate discipline, and foster a supportive community to achieve financial independence - or in her words, to "get that bag".
