Hi, I’m Andrea!

My money journey from an unexpected life moment.

In 2018, both my parents were diagnosed with cancer months apart. In a matter of weeks, I took a break from work and went home to take care of them & start their treatments.

I was not financially prepared for this and lived off of PTO & a small savings.

This moment changed everything for me.

I didn’t like being so financially vulnerable & promised myself this would never happen again. Both my parents beat cancer & I returned home.

Since that marking moment, I’ve been able to:

Grow a $100k+ investment portfolio (starting at a $29k/year salary)

Build and maintain a fully funded emergency fund of $30k

Set my daughter up her own investing account & start building generational wealth

 

Move through different seasons (home ownership, getting married, starting a family, etc.) of life knowing my finances are set up to take care of me.

My biggest mission is for more first gen WOC to set up their finances so they’re well protected and always have plenty of options
