Update: 2025-10-09
Description
What does it really take to go from struggling with money to building lasting wealth?
This week on the Inspired Budget Podcast, I’m joined by Emily Egashira, a Certified Financial Education Instructor who went from living in poverty and surviving off TV dinners… to becoming a debt-free millionaire in her 30s.
Emily opens up about:
- Growing up in poverty and how it shaped her relationship with money
- Why financial freedom happens in stages—and what those stages look like
- How to figure out your number for retirement (and why it’s not about age)
If you’ve ever felt behind or hopeless with money, Emily’s story is living proof that you can rewrite your financial future.
