Kathleen Anne Co. DIY

Hi! I’m Kathleen, a linguist and teacher by trade, a financial planner by passion, and jack of all trades by necessity.

Things aren't as simple as they used to be. There was an easy framework for success: work hard. My family was built on the value of hard work and they thought that would be enough to set their children up for success. What I've learned is that it’s not.

The truth is, if you are coming from a lower-middle class family like me, working hard isn’t enough to build true wealth (and by extension, freedom). For over 13 years now, I’ve been learning as much as I can and taking steps to get me (and now, my little family of three) closer to that goal of financial freedom.

I want to help others be able to build a life that they love and look forward to each day while also being able to afford it. Our generation doesn't have to choose to either be miserable but financially stable or happy but in debt. A life that you love and the freedom that you crave is within your reach.
