🌟We’ve been featured!!🌟 I’m a proud VCU alum — it’s where I got my MS in Business 🎓 (and the reason I took on student loans, and then decided to pay them off as quickly as possible; I paid off $52,000 in just two years, which led me to launch The Bright Side Coaching)💰

It’s called “values-based spending” 😉 Follow for money tips & 1:1 financial coaching. And yes, I know that a vacation to Europe costs way more than the amount you save each grocery trip by planning ahead and meal prepping… but the little things add up! 📈 I’d rather cut in certain areas of my life (shop a lower priced grocery store, limit how much I spend on takeout, meal plan and reduce food waste, etc) to “find more money” in my budget that I can put toward experiences like amazing vacations! ✈️ If you feel the same, where’s your next dream vacation destination? Tell me below 😍👇🏻

As a Brandcenter strategy alum, I’m so excited to announce a collaboration with the VCU Brandcenter — on March 25th, I’ll be running a Personal Finance 101 workshop, free to ALL Brandcenter students! 🎉

In one hour, we’ll cover:

✨ How I paid off $52,000 of student loans in 26 months (while making under 6-figures and living in a high cost of living city)

✨ The exact system I used to give myself a “fake paycheck” to pay my bills while I was a Brandcenter student

✨ Steps that students can take right now to increase their savings, avoid taking on more debt than necessary, and set themselves up well post-graduation

✨ My favorite financial tools, calculators, and personal finance books

🤩 PLUS, I’ll be holding 20-min one-on-one sessions for six students! As always, sessions are confidential and judgment-free

The details:
💰 FREE financial workshop for Brandcenter students
