Coco- “A holiday gift to myself. I have been self employed of over 6 years and 1.5 years into it I cashed out my old 401k to keep my fledgling business afloat. I kept telling myself as my business continued to grow that I would start to invest in my future retirement again but also wanted to pay off my debt that took up the majority of my focus.

After spending 5 months of 2020 unable to work I thought that again this would have to remain on the back burner but in true “Christmas miracle” form I managed to pivot, reevaluating some of my limiting beliefs about my income and turn my finical year around at the very end. This has enabled me to pay off my debt and most importantly open an IRA!” #moneywin
