Build wealth for you and your kids without burning out.

I'm a retired Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist turned Wealth & Wellness Coach. An award winning podcast host and self published author. I've been featured in places like The New York Times, People, The Today Show and Good Morning America just to name a few. I was born in Uganda but live in Las Vegas, Nevada. After getting divorced and losing my father months later I found myself in a mountain of debt.

I didn’t grow up learning much about money but I was able to pay off over $94,000 in student loans and credit cards in 3 years before I turned 30. It was on that journey I realized the connection between mental health and money. We have helped hundreds of professional women of color all over the world manage their money better, pay down debt, save thousands & most importantly create peaceful prosperous lives so they can use money to create an impact in the world.

    Thanks so much for taking the time to watch even though it didn’t suit you. I can only share what’s been helpful for me and my hundreds of students. The wild thing is that money is quite simple and common sense but the question is if that’s the case why aren’t more people successful with it. The great thing about KZread is that there are so many personal finance creators that you have a lot to choose from and I hope you’re able to find the information you seek. Wishing you all the best on your wealth building journey. 😊

    Trips me out. I was looking for some secret or cheat code to have extra money. lol It's not rocket science. You need to earn 3 to 5 times more than what you need to live so you can save/invest. If your income doesn't exceed your monthly expenses then you'll always be on a hamsters wheel. Clear debt and save 6 months of expenses as fast as you can. Those are the next two steps that HAVE to be done to get ahead financially. I'm learning that now. LFG!!

  • @jacentwamala
    @jacentwamala7 ай бұрын

    So glad you get it! There is no secret or cheat code. It's actually pretty simple and strategic. Yes it takes time, effort and energy but it pays off. You just need to earn more than you spend or spend less than you make and prioritize saving to see results. Everyones situation is different so plan accordingly. Glad to have you here.
