About our guest:
Jackie Cummings Koski, hailing from Aiken, South Carolina, grew up in a financially tight family as the second youngest of six children. Despite the financial challenges and a culture where discussing money was taboo, Jackie pursued higher education to improve her prospects and nurture her passion for writing. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in communications from Augusta State University, supporting herself through college by working full-time. After college, Jackie married and had a daughter, Amber. The end of her eleven-year marriage turned her into a single mother, intensifying her focus on personal finance. Jackie excelled in managing her finances, providing a middle-class lifestyle for herself and her daughter—a stark contrast to her own upbringing.
Her growing interest in finance led her to join and later preside over the Cincinnati Model Investment Club and serve on the BetterInvesting Regional Board of Directors. Jackie's commitment to financial literacy motivated her to educate others, especially since many, like her, were not taught about money in any formal way. Her book, "Money Letters 2 My Daughter," encapsulates this mission, offering straightforward financial advice through personal letters that discuss crucial financial concepts and practices.
