Nina Clark grew up in a large family tight on money, but with a mother who was very good at budgeting and stretching a dollar. Nevertheless, she wasn't taught anything about money growing up, so she learned her money lessons the hard way: overdrafting her checking account and racking up debt at a young age. Things got more complicated when she went through a divorce and became a single mother. Ever determined and positive, Nina regained her financial footing and became a seasoned budgeter with a little help from YNAB.
Nina's story is also unique in that she's never worked conventional jobs, and never made much money, so she had to budget carefully to pay off her debts. While working various jobs, she started a bookkeeping service to supplement her income, throw extra cash at her debt each time she landed a new client. Nowadays, Nina's budget is helping her save for retirement, travel, and help her daughter travel the world as well.
