Hi, I’m Mila Carter.
I’m a working mom who loves talking about money in a way that feels honest, kind, and a little bit gossipy. I created The Financial Gossip to help busy women feel calmer, smarter, and more confident with their money.
Before The Financial Gossip…
I was the mom who always felt like I was “behind” with money. I was working hard, paying bills, grabbing Starbucks in between meetings, and wondering where my paycheck actually went.
I didn’t grow up talking about investing, budgeting, or building wealth. I just knew I wanted something different for my family — less stress, more options, and a life that didn’t feel like survival mode all the time.
What changed?
I started treating money like a friend instead of a monster. I learned simple budgeting, paid off debt bit by bit, and started using affirmations and mindset work to stop feeling guilty every time I spent a dollar.
Now I share everything I’ve learned with other working moms through The Financial Gossip — so you can skip the shame, keep your iced coffee, and still build the life you want.

Why The Financial Gossip Exists
I created The Financial Gossip because I spent years feeling overwhelmed, ashamed, and confused around money — and I knew other moms were feeling the same way.
I didn’t want more “finance bro advice” or viral budgeting hacks that ignore real life. I wanted a safe, soft, encouraging place where women could learn, grow, and talk about money without guilt or embarrassment.
My mission is simple: help busy women feel calmer, smarter, and more in control of their finances — one gentle tip at a time.
