To all of the amazing women out there, working hard to chase your dreams - welcome. My name is Annie, and I'm the CEO and Founder of Money Essentials for Women.
I grew up in a tiny town as a first-generation college student, never giving much thought to my financial future. That all changed when I found myself fresh out of college, making $26,000 a year, and realizing that I wanted more for my life than struggle and burnout.
Money Essentials for Women was born out of a dream to make financial education available to ALL women. When it comes to budgeting, salary negotiations, investing, and retirement, many of us feel lost in adult life. I launched this organization to ensure that no woman is left feeling lost; instead, I hope every woman can find empowerment and confidence by engaging in our coaching and programs.
If you want to learn how to earn more, find work that lights you up, retire early, and live your best life, you're in the right place. Let's work together to build the life of your dreams!
I graduated from college and was over the moon about getting my first job as a social worker. It didn't take long to realize that my $26,000 salary wasn't going to get me very far (or cover the bills), and the job didn't feel like the right fit for me.
I was a first-generation college student who didn't really know what to do next. I thought 'Am I throwing away my degree if I leave social work for something else?'. And yet, I knew I needed to make a shift to put my life on a different path.
My first exposure to investing was through a girl on Instagram who was talking about the power of compound interest. At the time, I was going back to school to get my doctorate degree and pursue my new career path. I started reading books, meeting with mentors, and realized 'There are so many ways to make money! Why hasn't anyone ever told me this before?!'
I was hooked. I went on to finish my degree and climb the ladder, I mastered the basics of investing, then asking for raises and promotions. I also invested in real estate, started to explore tax deductions, created a budgeting sheet to track expenses, and started to understand how the pieces of my financial puzzle went together.
Over time, I stayed consistent with everything I had learned, and kept adding new income sources. I added additional retirement and investment accounts, created my own online business, started sharing what I was learning with friends and family.
In the last year, I started crunching the numbers and realized that I was on track to retire 20 years earlier than expected! I knew that I couldn't keep this information to myself - there was a fire in me, inspiring me to share what I had learned with other women.
Out of that inspiration, Money Essentials was born - my online business that offers 1:1 coaching and online resources to women all across the world. I empower women with simple strategies that help them make more money, keep more of what they earn, invest with confidence, and create a financial life that brings them joy. it is truly a gift to get to share what I've learned with other women - my greatest joy is seeing others finally reach their wildest financial dreams and leave financial stress behind!
I have an absolutely spoiled pup. She's a chihuahua + poodle + German Shepard mix (so odd...)
I love spending time outdoors every single day. I'm a hiker, slow runner, and weight lifter.
I grew up on the beach in a small town and have adjusted to the city life. I'm a coastal girl at heart!
