Financial Freedom 101 started in the summer of 2019 in a basement with the goal of sharing our financial knowledge with friends and family. Since then the blog and its creators have grown in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Our core goals have not changed but through our experiences, in college and professional life we have learned priceless information and life lessons that we share here on our blog. As the team behind Financial Freedom 101 grows and evolves, so does the blog!
Our Goals
- Educate high school and college students about financial literacy and life’s challenges
- Show alternate techniques to create multiple streams of income and save money
- Talk about the experiences and failures we encounter on our path to financial freedom
The idea for the blog stems from our transition from high school to college. After spending two years in the market we realized how much traditional education left out about the real world. We here at Financial Freedom 101 want to help fill the void in teenagers and young adults regarding your basic financials. Hopefully while reading through the blog you will pick up little tips and tricks to better suit your lifestyle.
Let’s build something together!
