Do you remember when they pulled you aside in school and taught you how to manage your money after college?
Me neither. It wasn’t part of the curriculum.
From big public campuses to elite Ivies, no one told us what to expect when we finally made the money we dreamed about, or how fast you can end up back to eating ramen the same month as a big bonus. It doesn't matter how advanced, specialized, or technical your degree is, law, medicine, engineering, a PhD, none of it comes with a class on how to actually manage the money and identity shift that comes with it.
I'm here to remove the mystery and shame around not knowing how to handle money. It's not your fault. It was never taught as a skill, and I believe that needs to change.
