Summary

Episode 79 is about how Sarah has financially co-supported her family, while still reaching her money goals and pursuing generational wealth.

March is Women’s History Month. All month long, we’re featuring poderosas! For Episode 79, we’re excited to introduce Sarah from Savvy Saving Squad, a poderosa educator in our schools and on social media.

Sarah is a teacher and teacher leader for NYC public schools and creator of @SavvySavingSquad, her Instagram page where she shares savvy saving and financial tips & tricks. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, she’s the daughter of low-income Moroccan immigrants. After earning two masters, she is now a doctoral student in an Educational Leadership, Administration, and Policy program, which she is cash-flowing (listen to find out how!)

Sarah has managed to build a lucrative career as an educator, earning 6 figures in a field where many don’t come close to that salary. She is debt-free and pursuing financial independence with her husband and she’s also managing to help her family financially while reaching her own money goals.

You can follow Sarah on Instagram.

We love episode 79 because of how central Sarah’s parents are to her money story; this is an often unspoken thread for so many first-generation wealth builders, and, really, many communities of color. If you’re young, this is a topic that’s easy to put off; in fact, it might even be one you want to put off because it brings up stress. Sarah’s been doing this since she was 22. Hearing these stories and starting to sit with these possible realities is something that can only benefit you.
