Leah M. Collins, Millennial Money MentorShe helps people achieve financial independence by teaching them the art of managing their money in a fun and simple way.Her mission is to empower people through financial education in order to build wealth for themselves and future generations. In the Spring of 2017,  Leah was a young, single, businesswoman living in the District of Columbia, working 15 hours a day on average, for one of the most prestigious accounting and consulting firms in the world. She spent 10 years of my career helping Fortune 500 companies manage their “bottom-line” while her own personal finances were in disarray!  She worked my way up the corporate ladder, earning six-figures and had ZERO to show for it.So, she challenged myself to become her first client and set a goal to reach financial independence in a single-income household.  After eighteen months, She paid off over $40,000 in debt and raised her FICO credit score to over 800.  Additionally,she began generating income through ownership of an investment/rental property in Washington, D.C.Do you know what happens when you start living your best life without being stressed about your finances?  People notice!  They ask what’s different about you and inquire about how you were able to achieve your financial goals.  This inspired me to develop content and tools to help others acquire a debt-free lifestyle and achieve financial security.https://www.leahmariecollins.com/
