Listen Later

In this episode you will hear Bruna Moscol talk about how she's originally from Peru.  Bruna's Mom makes the trip to the US as a single Mom with Bruna, age 10 and her brother, age 8.  Living in Peru they were living the Middle class lifestyle but when they arrived in the US they had to start at zero.  Bruna's Mom's first job in the US is at McDonald's in the daytime and would then work at Wendy's at night to provide for her family.  Her Mom met and married a man from Argentina and they started a company that would wash vehicle's.  Bruna learned her work ethic from her Mom who instilled in her children to work hard and to not ever feel sorry for themselves because they were immigrants.  Bruna picked up the investing bug when she was 11 years old, they would go to Goodwill and she would head to the book section, the books only cost 10 cents.  Bruna came across a book called something like the "Ultimate Guide to Investing", she started reading it and it opened her mind to the possibilities of what she could do with her money when she eventually had some.  When she was in her freshman year of High School she started reading another book called "The Teenage Investor" and it got her excited of the possibilities for her future.  This is a great listen on the story of a hard working woman who learned early and who can only go one way and that is up for her future.
