Jake’s Story | From -$25k in Net Worth to $500k

It’s always refreshing to have guests who have not only ‘gone through the fire’ if you will, but are comfortable being vulnerable enough to publicly share specific numbers around their financial transformations. That’s exactly why I loved my conversation with today’s guest, Jake Cousineau. Jake is a teacher, turned personal finance author of “How to Adult”, where he draws on years of experience in the high school classroom as well as his own experience as a young professional and breaks down finance in a way that’s approachable for young adults. In this episode, Jake shares his journey on HOW he went from a negative net worth of about $25k to a net worth today of almost $500k. What I love most about this? He didn’t make dramatic changes in his income - he was able to achieve this steady, but major transformation on his teacher salary. He simply changed the way he thought about money, what he did with his money, and he's going to tell you more about how he did it in today's episode. Enjoy
