Summary
Yanely Espinal, also known as Miss Be Helpful, grew up with immigrant parents and eight brothers and sisters in Brooklyn, New York. As a child she didn't know much about money. When she got a full scholarship to Brown University her mind was blown by the amount of wealth her classmates enjoyed. Her efforts to keep up caused her to rack up $20,000 in credit card debt.
When Yanely started her career as a teacher and realized she didn't have enough to cover her debt, bills, and an unexpected medical expense, she knew something had to change. That's when she got serious about paying off her debt and improving her finances.
Today, Yanely has a successful YouTube Channel and is a director of a financial education program that teaches students, teachers, and professionals about financial literacy. In this week's episode we are talking about Yanely's financial journey and the obstacles she overcame along the way.
