Good Morning ☀️
Quick question: What do you imagine is the difference between a $12k/year content marketer and a $93k/year content marketer? For the 27-year-old in one of this week’s stories, it came down to one thing: Naira Life. #HumbleFlex
After reading a Naira Life story that showed what was possible, this 27-year-old made some bold moves and now makes almost $100k a year doing the same job. It gives credence to the enduring theory that money is, for the most part, an information game.
So this week, we’re sharing three different money stories that show exactly that. Whether it’s flipping a career and income, figuring out how to save as a couple, or making tough calls between an important degree and a seemingly lucrative career.
Let’s get into it.
