If you’ve followed Think Save Retire for many years, you know that we’re somewhat new to the Instagram game (If you haven’t be sure to check us out: instagram.com/thinksaveretire/). One of the best, most rewarding parts of creating an account has been following and meeting all of the amazing creators from all over the world. One that stuck out to me right away was @TheFinancialTalk.
Not only was the content, TFT’s founder, Nathaly, eye catching and aesthetically pleasing (#gramglam) it was informative and transparent in an intriguing way. I also greatly appreciated her empowering stance for women and immigrants that brings a refreshing light to financial growth when moving to a new country. Not only does she advocate for surviving but she shows people in these circumstances how to thrive!
I knew right away I wanted to hear more of her story, and luckily she agreed to do an interview! And boy, she did not disappoint. The interview was done over Zoom with no real intention of publishing publicly BUT because of her natural charisma there was way too much value in our conversation that there was no way we couldn’t post almost every minute.
I hope anyone who watches enjoys our conversation as much as I did—I’ve also included timestamps below to jump to most of the key points and questions you might be interested in—Enjoy!
