Hey sis,
Paris here. Listen, are you ready to finally get your money together in 2022? I'm talking about making more money, managing it like a boss, and finally getting your investment portfiolio off the ground?
Here's the secret:
No penny-pinching, stock-trading, or sleepless hustle culture required
When I hit my 30th birthday I was drowning in debt and feeling super broke at the end of each month. I had followed the rules, earned multiple degrees, found a job I enjoyed, and bought all of the things I felt like I deserved. Things looked great on the outside, but I was barely saving any money--much less investing--and felt like I was running in place financially.
I decided to put a stake in the ground and turn things around. And in just a couple of years I doubled my salary, paid off all of my consumer debt, and built a strong investment portolio that grows each month like clockwork. I no longer feel broke at the end of each month, and I'm able to save and invest while still enjoying all of my favorite things (I'm a sucker for nice furniture, great seats at Beyonce concerts, and trips abroad when the 'rona isn't ruining things!)
So, what made the difference?
I stopped listening to the finance gurus who try to make everything more complicated than it needs to be. Instead, I found simple strategies that made the whole process of financial management and wealth-building completely doable. And it worked. Before I knew it, I was spending a whole lot less time worrying about money, and a whole lot more time enjoying my life!
The Black Girl's Guide to Financial Freedom breaks down everything I learned and that worked for into simple step-by-step instructions (while being super transparent about all of the mistakes I made) so you can skip the learning curve and reach your goals even faster.
