Diane Macias: Finance counselor, educator & author
HOW I GOT HERE: After the economic collapse of the early 2000s, my world turned upside down. Suddenly, I was left without a job and a baby on the way. To add to the stress, my husband and I found ourselves at odds about how to manage the money.
Deep down, I knew I had to focus on creating financial stability and wealth creation. I was determined to improve my financial situation. I took a finance class, read every book and article that I could find, and quickly learned the key to mastering my finances was a solid understanding of why I had the money habits I did.
Before long, I launched Money Smart Mamas, a women’s Facebook group where I shared my journey with others. I became a certified finance counselor and developed the Magical Budget Binder to help with organization, a key component of growing wealth. In my book, Permission To Spend, I teach this system in detail, showing readers how to overcome their own money roadblocks.
As an independent financial advisor with Five Rings Financial, I work with clients to help them plan and invest in their futures. With my guidance, they can get in front of their finances and renew their hope so they can live a life of freedom and prosperity. By understanding the emotions around money and implementing real-life solutions, every person can achieve financial freedom and wealth. So, are you ready to create your new money story?
