I’m so honored to be interviewed by Financially Alert, a fellow like-minded personal finance blogger who s
hares the same beliefs.
In this interview, I walk through why I started Financial Nirvana Mama, money beliefs, how this website can help readers, and my favorite personal finance book.
Here’s a quick snippet of the interview.
Walk me through how and why you started your personal finance blog?
I share the truth about real estate investing. The good, the bad and the ugly.
Years ago, I searched for reputable websites to help guide me in my real estate investing journey but I had trouble finding people I can relate too.
And when I did find websites – I couldn’t relate to these people. They were either full-time real estate investors with no kids, or shady money grabber gurus who only sold wonderful stories of how real estate investing is sooo awesome. They didn’t resonate with me.
I’m a busy mom with a career and investing in real estate part-time so I wanted to see others like me doing it too that can help me out in my journey.
Rather than sitting back and waiting for someone else to do it, and HOPING someone would do it….
I decided to launch Financial Nirvana Mama.
I’ve been investing in real estate part-time for the last ten years. I feel this immense desire to share my experience and help others. This is why I started Financial Nirvana Mama.
Was the decision easy or hard, why?
It was an easy decision because I felt this immense urge to fix this problem and share my experiences and help others. I felt stuck ten years ago, I needed someone to help guide me.
Now that I’ve gone through the school of life, I feel like it’s my turn to contribute and help others, just like others have helped me during my journey.
