145. How To Grow an $85K Portfolio in 4 Years Without a Six-Figure Salary With Kelly Zúñiga
Description
In this episode, I sit down with fellow money coach Kelly Zúñiga to talk about how she invested $85,000 in just four years without a high salary and while navigating the responsibilities of being first gen.
We go deep into the mindset shifts, small steps, and real numbers behind her investing journey, plus why both of us started out as “super savers” before learning how to grow our money.
You’ll learn:
✅ How Kelly went from hoarding cash to investing $500 at a time
✅ The exact steps she took to build an $85K portfolio in four years
✅ Why first gen professionals often feel “behind” and how to overcome that
✅ The stages of becoming an investor and why information alone isn’t enough
If you’ve been saving but feel stuck on how to actually grow your money, this episode will show you how to start investing even if you don't have a big salary or financial safety net.
