Pundit. World Traveler. Dog Lover. I want young professionals to have what I didn’t growing up: A guiding hand to help make the right financial decisions NOW so that their FUTURE will be a seamless ride. The first time I discovered my passion for finance was when I saw my grandparents lose every cent to their name, after some poor financial planning. They worked all their lives, every day, and when they neared their retirement – their hard work fell to pieces because they didn’t practice healthy financial habits.That’s when knew I wanted to jump ahead of the game when it comes to finances, so I gathered my resources, stuck my nose into books and learned as much as I could. I would not allow anyone to make the same mistake.My educational background has allowed me to help young professionals navigate the sometimes-murky waters of finance:Earned a Certified Financial Planner (CFP – which is the equivalent of a financial ninja)Earned a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC)Earned a Master of Science in Personal Financial Planning degreeBecause I gained knowledge and practiced healthy finance habits, I purchased my first house at 23, have no debt (minus my mortgage), co-founded a financial non-profit program in my community, and am on my way to millionaire status in just a few more years. Most importantly? I met the love of my life in my best friend and partner in crime, my husband.I’ve been through a lot although I’m only a Millennial, and I’m here to pass down the tens of thousands of hours of reading, brainstorming and real life experience I’ve had so far in finance to YOU.Here’s to you and starting your financial journey!--To join the Money Circle Community, visit www.maggiegermano.com/moneycircle.To learn more about Maggie and her coaching and speaking services, visit www.maggiegermano.com.The theme music is called Escaping Light by Aaron Sprinkle.
