It’s the biggest lie in personal finance you can believe: You’re either born with financial knowledge or you’re destined to become a financial failure forever. And there’s no between.
That is completely false—and my guest today is ready to flip the script on everything you thought you knew about money. While working as an elementary school teacher, Yanely Espinal decided to change her financial life by paying off $20,000 of debt in just 18 months. Then in 2015 she started a YouTube channel to help others learn the money skills she never learned in school called MissBeHelpful. And it has over 2.5 million views,
Today, Yanely works with a nonprofit called Next Gen Personal Finance, where she’s on a mission to ensure every high school student gets a full semester of personal finance education. And she’s the author of the new book, Mind Your Money.
In our conversation, Yanely reveals why her understanding of money was rooted in shame and embarrassment for so long and the biggest lies so many students and entrepreneurs believe about money. Plus, how she was able to pay off $20k of debt as a teacher and why lending money to a friend can be a huge mistake. This is a no-shame and candid money conversation I think you’ll love.
