Hi there! My name is Sofia and I am 30 years old. I was born and raised in a small town outside of New York City. Growing up, my family wasn't very wealthy, so we had to work hard for everything we got. Despite the challenges, I feel incredibly lucky to have been surrounded by such loving and supportive people throughout my life.
After high school, I decided to pursue a career in finance. I worked my way up from an entry-level position at a bank to eventually becoming a financial advisor. While it was definitely challenging, I found that I had a natural knack for numbers and investments, which made the work very rewarding.
However, after several years of working long hours in the corporate world, I began to feel like something was missing from my life. I started to yearn for more creative pursuits, so I decided to take some time off work and explore my interests outside of finance.
I've always loved writing and storytelling, so I decided to try my hand at blogging about personal finance and investing. I also started dabbling in photography and painting, which have become two of my favorite hobbies.
Overall, I feel incredibly fortunate to have had such varied experiences in my life so far. While it hasn't always been easy, I am grateful for the opportunities that have come my way and the people who have supported me along the way.
