Summary

After graduating from college with over $70,000 in student loans, Ysanet Batista went straight into public service. Unfortunately, her career did not pay a high salary and she found it difficult to live and eat in New York City. At some points, she faced food insecurity and homelessness. Her struggles forced her to find ways to make more money and led to her starting her own food cooperative business called Woke Foods. She merged her love for cuisine with her passion for social justice and is forging her own path to Financial Liberation. 

Ysanet is also a member of the Money Launch Club (moneylaunchclub.com) and shares how joining the community allowed her to pay off debt, find support and stay accountable on her journey

In this episode you will learn: 

  • Where you can find a community of like-minded people support you on your journey to financial independence and retiring early (FIRE)
  • Why it's so important to know your WHY
  • How to know when your income is your problem
  • The importance of budgeting no matter how much you make
  • What you can accomplish as a member of the Money Club
  • The benefits of an accountability partner, and more
