256: How to Make Money and Get Rich with Your Rich BFF, Vivian Tu

Aug 7

In this episode, I sit down with author, CEO, and founder of Your Rich BFF, Vivian Tu, to discuss all things money and how we can break down the mental barriers around finances that are holding us back. Vivian and I discuss shared experiences from when we worked on Wall Street and talk about the mind-blowing mentality around money we witnessed, and she shares the moment that made her decide to leave the industry for good. She then dives into actionable tips and advice for parents wanting to set up generational wealth for their children, how people with student debt can approach paying it off in a feasible way, and how we can reframe the mindset around budgeting and implement the 50-30-20 method. We also talk about lifestyle inflation, why social media is fueling the competition hamster wheel, why knowing your values around what you’ll spend more on versus what you won’t is incredibly important, and much more.
