192: How Andrea Built Financial Security Living On $1750 A Month As A Single Mother For 6 Years

At the height of the 2008 recession, Andrea Ewalefo became a single mom, and with a 20-month-old to care for and no job. But something was different; Andrea had recently received financial education and training and knew what she needed to do to overcome the odds. Despite living on about $1750/mo for over 6 years, Andrea never missed a payment, kept her credit score in the mid 600s, and even opened investment accounts for her and her son. Now, Andrea is about to graduate with a JD/MBA, and with a new career and increased salary, she has created a plan to become a millionaire and financially independent in the next 10 years. Andrea believes in paying it forward, and she has committed to teaching other women how to be their own CFOs through Modern Lady Vibes, a community created to redefine what it means to be a lady in the 21st century by teaching independence, financial literacy, and business sense.
