Hi I'm Zina
I'm a personal finance writer, speaker, and money coach. I've been nominated for freelance writing awards, helped people pay off thousands in debt, and blogged for over 10 years.
But, I used to struggle with money too. I ate out often, couldn't save, and bought unnecessary clothes. In 2011, I graduated with $24,000 in student loans, earning just $28,000 yearly and hating my job.
The worst part? I couldn't use retail therapy to feel better because I barely covered bills. So, I learned to budget and take control.
In three years, I paid off my student loans and started saving for retirement. Now, I have a great closet and a healthy bank account. I also help others as a Certified Financial Health Counselor and Student Loan Counselor, with recognition as a three-time Best Personal Finance Contributor/Freelancer finalist.
