Ep 79. How to go from poverty to over six-figures in net worth before 30 - with Ashley Copeland of Stacks and the City
This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Ashley Copeland of Stacks and the City! Ashley is an investor who teaches first-generation working professionals how to make money in the stock and real estate industry. Ashley grew up in a family with her siblings and her single mother. She never saw her parents have much money and always worried about making sure she had savings to help out if a crisis ever struck. This lifestyle led her to her interest in investing and by the age of 21, she had saved $10K and started her portfolio as well as investing in real estate throughout her 20’s. Today she is worth over $100,000. Her goal now is to help people make investing work for them in a simple way. In this episode we discuss: How Ashley learned about investing at the early age of 6 How her childhood upbringing played a role in her success How knowing the right people can take you far in life More on Ashley: Ashley Copeland is a financial literacy expert that focuses on educating professional millennial women of color on how to create financial security with limited resources.
