Born in England to accountant parents, Amy was given great money advice growing up. And obviously, so was her brother.
Only one of them took the advice to heart though… and it’s not our special guest. ☹
From credit card spend sprees to climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, Amy lived life to the fullest!
So… what changed?
Why did she go from having no budget whatsoever to being a MoneySMARTS advocate? Yes, you’ve read that right… she got her circle of friends on board with MoneySMARTS too!
What would she get from doing that??
And what are the lessons she learned along the way?
Tune in to find out more!
P.S. Make sure to tune in to 18:04 where she shares an interesting story of what happened in the middle of a surgery! #EpicStory
