Episode 365: Become a Profitable & Successful Investor with Mabel Nunez

3/13/2024
Mabel Nunez is the founder & Chief Education Officer at Girl$ on The Money - a stock market investing education company targeted toward individuals who are underrepresented in the investing world. Mabel grew up in the South Bronx as an immigrant from the Dominican Republic, with limited resources & a strong emphasis on education from her father. She learned very little about personal finance or investing while in school until she was in college, where she took an investing analysis class which began her passion for investing & personal finance. Mabel holds both a Bachelor of Science and an MBA in Finance. However, most of what she's learned about investing came from experience. Mabel's mission is to teach what she's learned (and continues to learn) since starting her investing journey. She is passionate about transforming investing beginners into confident, knowledgeable, and profitable investors. In this episode, Mabel shares: How fear kept her from starting to invest, despite graduating as a finance major, reading articles and listening to shows on investingHow she has been investing for 16 years with a focus on individual stocks in a self-directed taxable account. She invests in companies with long-term potential, rarely selling stocks and preferring a Warren Buffett-style strategyThat investing in ETFs or index funds, such as the S&P 500, can be a simpler alternative to buying individual stocks & advises against buying "cheap stocks" or investing in unproven companies.How she struggled to tell her parents about quitting her 9-5 stable job to pursue her passion & the challenge of balancing personal dreams with family expectations, particularly for immigrant families + much more!

Some of my most impactful conversations are with people who are in the thick of the journey, not just people who have reached Financial Independence. In today’s episode of Journey to Launch, I’m bringing back Cassandra Henry, a Journeyer who doesn’t have it “all figured out,” but is on an inspiring path toward financial freedom. Cassandra, an Expat living in Abu Dhabi, was one of my first 1:1 financial coaching clients. She has paid down debt, moved abroad, and found that financial independence is a worthwhile goal no matter what your circumstances. We chat about gamifying your financial goals, paying zero taxes abroad, and having over $17k of student loan debt forgiven. In this episode you’ll also learn more about: Why living in Abu Dhabi is less stressful and how Cassandra is able to save money living abroadHow COVID almost made Cassandra quit teaching, but instead she pivoted to an international teaching roleThe struggles of living across the world from family and the power of creating your own communityPublic Student Loan Forgiveness, how financial independence allowed Cassandra to take care of her family, why investing even a small amount matters + more Other Links Mentioned in episode: How Cassandra Increased Her Income By $10k & Improved Her Money MindsetGet The Budget Bootcamp for FREEPre-order my new book, Your Journey to Financial Freedom and get access to FIRE STARTER Course for FREECheck out my personal websitehere.Weekly Newsletter ListLeave me a voicemailYNABreferral linkhere Connect with me: Instagram: @JourneytolaunchTwitter: @JourneyToLaunchFacebook: @Journey To LaunchJoin the Private Facebook GroupJoin the Waitlist for MyFI CourseGet The Free Jumpstart GuideGet The Budget Bootcamp for FREE
