Our guest today is Amanda Wolfe, better known as the SheWolfeOfWallStreet, and we’re grateful to have her share her story with us. Amanda was born into extreme poverty – not “I had a rough month after college so I slept in my car”, but more like “begging for food at gas stations” poverty. Her upbringing had a profound impact on her view of money and caused her to become a self-taught financial educator who has built a community of over 300,000 folks. She now helps countless families create debt payoff strategies, budget, and invest! Amanda is all over Instagram helping individuals achieve financial freedom, but how did she do it? What happened between those two extremes of poverty and prosperity? We’re excited for her to share her story, what she originally believed was a ticket to the middle class, how she learned to actually accumulate wealth, her take on side hustles, her relationship to money today, and much more!
