Shang from Save My Cents and I discuss the importance of having the right mindset for financial independence. She lets us in on strategies she uses to rewire her thinking and overcome life's struggles.

Lastly, we go over advice for tackling healthcare costs! It's important to note, Shang graduated with minimal or no student debt. Her college and MBA education were paid for by a combination of her parents' savings and scholarships. That gave her a huge advantage and boost while pursuing financial independence. Having said that, her story is still an inspiration for how to adopt the right mindset for success and happiness!
