The $130 billion Dow-DuPont merger faces several major challenges
The smartest choice one CFO ever made with her money is something a lot of people can do (Business Insider)
Wealthfront CFO Ashley Fieglein Johnson has a simple habit that helps her save money and increase her wealth: She lives below her means.
"I never spent to the level I was earning," she told Business Insider. "I always stashed away bonuses and part of my checks into investment accounts and savings accounts."
The self-made millionaire said her decision to save responsibly has allowed her to take calculated risks that have the potential to increase her wealth.
"The few instances where I did go 'underwater' were the times when I was investing in business, real estate, or other similar opportune investments," she said. "I could afford to participate in these types of ventures because I always had savings to fall back on."
There's a big gap between what CFOs think employees want and what they actually want (Business Insider)
A recent survey by specialized staffing firm Robert Half found that 40% of CFOs are more open to negotiating nonmonetary perks to recruit and retain top workers than they were a year ago.
However, what CFOs believe employees want and what employees actually want can be quite different.
CFOs underestimate the value employees place on more vacation days, telecommuting options, and flexible schedules, and they overestimate employees' desire for better health and wellness benefits, according to the survey.
