Summary

At the height of the 2008 recession, Andrea Ewalefo became a single mom, and with a 20-month-old to care for and no job. But something was different; Andrea had recently received financial education and training and knew what she needed to do to overcome the odds. Despite living on about $1750/mo for over 6 years, Andrea never missed a payment, kept her credit score in the mid 600s, and even opened investment accounts for her and her son. Now, Andrea is about to graduate with a JD/MBA, and with a new career and increased salary, she has created a plan to become a millionaire and financially independent in the next 10 years. Andrea believes in paying it forward, and she has committed to teaching other women how to be their own CFOs through Modern Lady Vibes, a community created to redefine what it means to be a lady in the 21st century by teaching independence, financial literacy, and business sense. WHAT WAS DISCUSSED: 1. Her experience of becoming a single mother with no job in the middle of the 2008 recession including the financial and emotional impact. 2. How she got interested in financial literacy and financial wellness 3. How she lived on about $1750/mo for over 6 years, never missing a payment 4. How she started investing for her son on that same income 5. Her plan to become a millionaire in the next 10 years AND MUCH MORE HOW TO KEEP WITH ANDREA - Via her website at https://modernladyvibes.com - On Instagram and YouTube at modernladyvibes ❤ Get the best-selling Clever Girl Finance Books: clevergirlfinance.com/books ❤ Get access to 30+ free courses, worksheets, savings challenges, and our favorite banking resources: clevergirlfinance.com/course-packages/ ❤ Read the Clever Girl Finance Blog: clevergirlfinance.com/blog ❤ Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/clevergirlfinance
