Personal Notes
I’ve been lucky to grow up in a household that took finances seriously. Both of my parents were financially savvy in their own ways. My dad was in charge of managing the money, and he did so with a number of timely investments, advantageous savings accounts, and credit card offers for every purchase. My mom, on the other hand, was in charge of shopping, and used her bargain-hunting and thrifting skills to ensure we never overspent.
As a result, I’ve adopted a mix of these habits in my personal framework, and I’d love to share them with others. I believe that by changing your mindset and relationship with money, you can build a financial nest egg that can reduce your anxiety and stress and help you start living the life you’ve dreamed of. No, I can’t help you become a billionaire with a beach house overnight – if I could do that, I wouldn’t be teaching financial courses; I’d be living on a yacht somewhere drinking Aperol spritzes. But I can provide you with the tools you need to start on your financial journey.
