Carmen Perez is a Personal Finance Content Creator and Founder of Make Real Cents, a personal finance platform dedicated to helping people achieve financial independence and avoid the mistakes she made early on. In 2016, Carmen started a journey towards becoming debt free- she had terrible credit, no money saved, and was sued for her student loan. She has since completely transformed her finances and has paid off approximately $57,000 of debt in two and a half years. Carmen officially became debt free in Sep 2018 and in August of 2019, after saving up, Carmen quit her job in finance to learn how to code.

Carmen has been featured in Forbes, The Skimm, and is currently a member of Business Insider's Money Council for 2020.
