What does being "financially healthy" mean to you?

To me, financial health means having the freedom to make choices without constant worry about money. It’s about creating a stable foundation where financial stress doesn’t dictate my decisions or limit my opportunities. When you’re financially healthy, you have the ability to spend your time the way you truly want. Whether that’s building a business, traveling, or spending more time with family. Ultimately, financial health isn’t just about wealth; it’s about peace of mind and the ability to live life on your own terms.

What motivates you to be financially healthy?

What motivates me to become financially healthy is the desire to break free from the financial stress I saw my parents experience growing up. I never want money to be a source of worry or a barrier to opportunity. Beyond personal security, I see money as a tool that enables me to create, build, and make an impact. It gives me the ability to develop products, host events, and launch organizations that drive positive change in the world.

What is one of your main financial goals right now, and why?

One of my main financial goals is to graduate with no debt. I watched my mom work tirelessly to pay off debt well into her 40s while raising three kids on her own, and I saw how financial stress can limit opportunities. I want to break that cycle by starting my career with a clean slate, free to take risks and pursue my passions without the burden of student loans. I then plan to invest money into entrepreneurial ventures that will help me create financial freedom and build something meaningful.
