WHAT DOES MONEY MEAN TO YOU? - Learn From These Phenomenal Women

"Having money is good but subduing to the power of money can be disastrous"

In our day to day activities, we all want to make money because having money is a necessity. Everyone has been struggling and hustling just to make ends meet, either to sustain themselves, family or loved ones. 

Many other people are working in order for them to stack and pile the money just to be referred to, as a wealthy person, while others need little cash, to live to see the light the next day.  But the major thing I've come to realise is that we all need money for one reason or the other, hence our various definitions of money. 

In this thread, we will learn from women of great virtue, I hold them with a very high esteem, they have made impacts, they have made and still making difference, they have influenced their fellow women and have kept alot of men on their toes.

Just as the saying goes that 'what a man can do, a woman can do better' these women have proven themselves beyond doubt. They all understand the value of money, therefore, we shall be drinking to fill, from their well of knowledge, read and be inspired.
