4 FilAm Financial Influencers to Help You Do More with Your Money and Live Your Best LIfe

We are always told to save but no one ever teaches us HOW to save. Which is kind of weird considering we live in a world where we hear all of the latest trends of spending on NFT’s, buying Cryptocurrency, or funding start up businesses, how ironic that we never hear more people discuss the importance of investing in actual personal finance education? Well if you need help with debt, choosing credit cards, or becoming your own successful entrepreneur (that's me!), look no further as we take a dive into 4 of the best “Fin-Fluencers” (Financial Influencers) that can help you save hundreds of thousands and help you make the right decisions towards your journey to financial freedom.

1. Berna Anat (@HeyBerna)

With over 100k followers on Instagram, the viral financial hypewoman, Bernadette (Berna) Anat, has been sharing all of her secrets on social media about how she overcame her $50,000 dollar debt and how she now uses her money to travel the world and make money fun (and funny!) again. Since her success as a social media fin-fluencer, she has transitioned as a financial motivational speaker at some prestigious venues like Girlboss Rally, Google, and The Wing, in addition to her work being shared on high profile platforms like Forbes, The New York Times, and Buzzfeed. Berna was recently named one of ABS-CBN's Global Pinoy Idols, awarded to the 10 most influential Filipinx people in the United States. If your budget needs a hypewoman, be sure to grab her new book Money Out Loud, to learn all the financial stuff that no one taught you!

2. Bernadette Joy (@bernadebtjoy)

Maybe you need someone to relate to that has more than $50,000 in debt and more like $300,000 in student debt (I know all my Nurse Practitioner readers just leaned a little closer). Not only that, what if you needed to learn from someone who paid that off in a short span of 3 years and is now a successful millionaire? Follow Bernadette Joy as she teaches millennial women how to pay off their debt and to figure out their finances. Not only is she giving advice as a contributor for Forbes, Bernadette has created a system called Crush Your Money Goals, which aims to jumpstart independent thinking to create sustainable money habits and build financial confidence.
