By the late 1970s, a different set of character types were established, including the suburbanite, the subtle single, the traditional family person, the successful professional, and the elegant . Erica was in the chic suburbanite category which comprised “flashy,” achievement-oriented characters with little interest in family and friends. Like others in this category, Erica was written as “flamboyant, frivolous and carefree, with little commitment other than [her] own selfish enjoyment of life.”
Erica was drawn to personal finance in her early years. Her father is a first-generation high school and college graduate who instilled in her the importance of planning wisely for the future while still enjoying and appreciating today. These valuable life lessons sparked her desire to ensure others have access to exceptional financial planning and sound investment management.
