16. Meet Emily P. - Reinventer, Career Coach, Budding Entrepreneur

Emily was a director of a large team at a high-paying job in NYC. Since taking a Wealth Circle, she’s transitioned into an even higher-paying job, has completely moved out of New York City, and decided to travel the country before putting down roots—all while starting her own business. We go over:  Why she left NYC during COVID-19 and hasn’t looked back.  How she’s currently saving 30% of her income.  Balancing her natural tendencies as a people-pleaser with asking for what she wants.Her advice for negotiating salary and why it’s not a single conversation.  The 2008 recession and how it affected her as a child in a commuter town.  Why she felt unprepared to manage overspending, despite having had jobs since she was a teen.  The details of her new coaching business that helps recent grads better navigate their careers.  How she built an emergency fund to support her new venture.  What it was like to become less and less interested in “nicer things” as she got more into personal finance.
