I saved $100,000 by age 25 on a nonprofit salary. Not because I'm a genius — because I had a system. Automate your savings, invest consistently, and stop buying things you don't care about to impress people you don't like.
Financial literacy is a feminist issue. Women who understand money have more choices, more freedom, and more power. Every woman who learns to invest is a woman who can leave a bad job, a bad relationship, or a bad situation.
You don't need to be rich to invest. You need to invest to be rich. Start with $50 a month. Start with $20. Just start. The compound interest doesn't care how small your first deposit was.
The financial industry was built by men, for men, using language that excludes everyone else. I'm not here to ask permission to be at the table. I'm building my own table — and everyone's invited.
I get hate mail every day from men who are angry that I teach women about money. That tells me I'm doing something right. Comfort zones and wealth don't overlap.
