For the second week in a row, I had the pleasure of speaking with a wonderful person named Danielle. I can promise you I did not plan it, it just kinda happened.

As the first person in her family to graduate college, Danielle is using her financial knowledge to help educate others. Like many of us, Danielle was at one point living paycheck to paycheck and went through several years of financial struggle. But today, she paid off most of her debt, boosted her income from a variety of side hustles and is building wealth not only for her but for her kids by investing and saving for retirement.

Today, Danielle and I talk about investing for kids and why as a parent it is not only important to invest for our kids future, it is vital to educate them on the process.

Let's take a listen

I got to talk to Danielle today, a single mother who is killing it on Youtube and Instagram with her finance videos and posts.

When she became a divorce single mom making $25,000 a year, Danielle knew she had to make major changes. She took command of her finances by increasing her income, doing side hustles, paying off debt and investing.

She then decided to start a YouTube and Instagram page and she quickly realized that there we so many people, most notably women, that needed to hear what she had to say. We talked about how for divorce women, it can be a lonely situation and not knowing who to turn to.  So  having a community of other divorce women who can uplift each other is beneficial for our communities.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Throughout this process of connecting with personal finance influencers, the overwhelming theme is to build wealth for them and their kids. Talking to Maria, she brought something new to the conversation.

In addition to building wealth for her and educating her kids to make sure they get generational wealth, her and her husband are doing this for their parents. Maria moved to California from Mexico as a young girl and knowing all her parents did for her, she wants to make sure they can enjoy the later part of their lives.

As a first generation professional, Maria wants to teach families financial literacy, help build businesses and protect their assets.
