- I am from originally from New England but I’ve traveled to over 40 countries, lived in Singapore for a year, and worked on cruise ships for 3 years after college (yes, it was wild…happy to share stories).
- I can’t live without potatoes…chips, fries, mashed, I like it all.
- I love the outdoors and on the weekends you’ll find me rock climbing and hiking.
- Good Will Hunting is my favorite movie but it’s also a toss up between Top Gun (the new one is freaking amazing btw) and Nightmare Before Christmas.
- I wasn’t always a successful investor and made a lot of mistakes in my early twenties. Mistakes that I can help you avoid.
5 things about me.
I’ve been investing in real estate, the stock market, and businesses for over 10 years. While I’m a successful investor with over 1 million net worth now, I made a few big mistakes that cost me thousands and created a lot of shame in my life.
I am not shy about sharing my big investing mistakes, mainly because they are easily avoidable with a little bit of knowledge.
I don’t want anyone to go through what I went through.
The short version of my story is that investing decisions made on my behalf by a certified financial planner (CFP) cost me at least thousand, including one bad financial product (an annuity) that cost me $20,000. I found out later that this annuity was a better fit for someone in their 50’s and 60’s…hardly appropriate for someone in their 20’s who had plenty of time to prepare for retirement.
The most frustrating part about the mistakes I made? They were completely avoidable with a basic financial education..
Most of the biggest investing mistakes I see 30 and 40 somethings make are easily avoidable with some basic financial knowledge.
One of the biggest misconceptions about investing is that it’s complicated and this belief prevented me from trying to learn how to invest for a long time.
These days, I barely check my investments and I use a very simple set it and forget it strategy.
Between the realization that women+ need better financial resources and my determination to make sure other folks don’t make the same mistakes I did, I realized that I have a moral obligation to help others build wealth the simple way.
The best investors I know aren’t the ones with fancy strategies.
They are people, just like you and me, that automate their investing.
You can build wealth through investing too.
