Summary

My guest today knows what it feels like to be in your 20s and overwhelmed by work, money and just, life, in general. She’s only 27 years old and has already experienced a devastating lay off from work (just two months after joining a company), going nearly broke… I believe it was something like $13 or $14 left in her bank account …and at a loss for how to redirect her life. Today’s guest is Mandi Woodruff and she is a warrior. She knows the pains of trying to figure it all out before you hit 30 and confesses…it’s a loser’s game. By day she is the personal finance correspondent for Yahoo Finance where she hosts the weekly web series, Money Minute, delivering 60-second explainers on some of life's trickiest money questions. She's been a reporter for more than seven years and studied journalism at the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, home of the Peabody Awards. Learn more about your ad choices.
