Episode 33 with Elana Milianta
Guest Elana Milianta shares her story as a self-made wealth management consultant, retail business owner, and author, who came to this country with her family as a young émigré, seeking freedom. Elana’s life passion has been to help women build financial literacy. Her book, A Girlfriend’s Financial Survival Guide, educates women on building financial independence as they transition through life’s stages.
How Elana amassed her knowledge didn't just come from degrees and certifications. She shares with us what she learned from her parents about hard work and financial independence, and by saving, budgeting, and building good credit.
Learn how you - at any age - can develop your own wealth and financial security on this episode of The Balance Dilemma.
And Elana says don’t buy that Starbucks coffee. Invest it instead. Find out why.
