It is possible to live debt-free and prosper financially while self-employed, and podcast listener Christina from Toronto shares how she was able to do it. Long description: Not many people can say they got their first job at the young age of 5 years old, but my Listener Series guest Christina from Toronto isn't like many people. She had a firm grasp on how to earn money from a very young age, which helped her when she started learning about personal finance in university. As she embarked on her career as a freelancer in the film and TV industry, she started realizing that there was more to being financially savvy than just knowing how to earn an income. Now, having been self-employed for 10 years, she shares the tips and tools that have helped keep her out of debt and on a path to financial freedom for anyone else living on a variable income with dreams of financial stability. Helpful Tip Pay yourself first. You may have heard this tip a thousand times, but that's because it works! It's Christina's top money tip, and honestly mine too. All paying yourself first means is allocating your income to your savings goals first, then living on whatever's left. If you're not doing this right now, I promise it'll change your life. A great way to start would be to download my free budget spreadsheet.
