From Paycheck to Freedom: Carolyn Marrero on Building Wealth with Purpose

What does it take to move from financial survival to financial freedom? In this episode of Infinite Dialogues with OtiJay, I sit down with financial strategist, entrepreneur, and author Carolyn Marrero to discuss her remarkable journey from surviving the aftermath of a devastating hurricane in Puerto Rico to building financial independence and helping others do the same.Carolyn shares how financial hardship, immigration, and personal resilience shaped her approach to money management. We explore why income alone doesn’t create wealth, the dangers of lifestyle inflation, practical strategies for eliminating debt, and how families can begin building generational wealth even when starting with limited resources.
