Delyanne Barros came to the United States as a child from Brazil, and spent much of her life in Miami as an undocumented immigrant. She was eventually able to go to law school, but when she graduated in 2008, she had $150,000 in student debt and no wealth to her name. After discovering the FIRE movement (Financial Independence / Retire Early) she decided to create Master My Fire, a financial coaching practice, to raise awareness about achieving financial freedom. She is also pursuing her own debt-free journey, currently paying off $110,000 in student loans in 15 months. She plans to be debt-free by December 2020 and achieve FIRE by 2028. Through her digital course, Slay The Stock Market, she provides her clients with investing coaching so that they can achieve their own financial goals to fund their dream life.

Editors Note: Since this episode was recorded, Delyanne paid off her student loans 5 months ahead of schedule and has accelerated her FIRE journey even faster! You can read her story in NextAdvisor and Business Insider.
