DS214 | How To become Financially Independent | Walli Miller

<p>I am a self-proclaimed money nerd! I love spreadsheets. I watched PBS specials about retirement for fun!</p> <p>There’s a difference between “good” with money and knowing how to build wealth. The truth is, I was good at staying out of credit card debt. I had so much to learn about managing and growing my money.</p> <p>I am a natural spender. I love a good sale. I was proof that having a high-income didn’t mean I knew how to manage my money.<br /> I was born and raised in New York City. I spent most of my life living in the the Bronx. I am a Latina, first generation college graduate and daughter of an immigrant.</p> <p>I moved to California for an amazing job opportunity and negotiated my salary to more than double what I was making.</p> <p>Unfortunately, I didn’t understand money or building wealth. I didn’t grow up looking at stock charts with my dad or balancing the checkbook with my mom. We didn’t talk about money much in my family.</p> <p>At 24 years old I was making more than ever before and I had no idea what to do once my bills were paid. Naturally, I began to spend and spend. I set very little money aside every month. I bought shoes, clothes, handbags and rarely did I cook at home.</p> <p><br /> Get your free book: [www.audibletrial.com/dwellynn](http://www.audibletrial.com/dwellynn)</p> <p>Contact: Walli<br /> https://financiallythriving.com/</p> <p>Content mentioned: The Simple Path to Wealth</p> <p> https://www.amazon.com/Simple-Path-Wealth-financial-independence/dp/1533667926/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1943E8LQITEKJ&keywords=simple+path+to+wealth&qid=1637805331&s=books&sprefix=simple%2Caps%2C231&sr=1-1</p> <p>Follow Ola [[www.instagram.com/oladantis](http://www.instagram.com/oladantis)]</p> <p>@OlaDantis for all other social media</p> <p>Send me a DM when you follow so I can say hi!</p> <p>www.InvestWithOla.com</p>
