Welcome back to Don’t Retire… Graduate! Today’s guest is Tiffany Grant, a financial counselor and the host of the Money Talk with Tiff podcast. 

Tiffany is a fantastic content creator within the personal finance space—except for her online quiz that must be broken if Eric did not get a perfect score—and is one of the many money nerds making financial literacy accessible to the public. 

Listen to her story and take her online quiz (after you listen to Eric giving out the answers, of course) to see if you can beat Eric’s 92%. 

In this episode we’ll talk about:

• Tiffany’s upbringing that led her to financial and professional success 

• Student loans and how to go through graduate school without paying tuition and/or getting paid

• Financial literacy and the lack of education in most schools

• Extra credit assignments and why those who need help aren’t the ones who seek it

• The Money Talk with Tiff podcast and how it’s helping to spread financial education

About Tiffany Grant:

Where do I start? I am a self-proclaimed money nerd and proud of it! I live and breathe finances. After years of giving impromptu advice to family and friends, I said why not start a blog? This way all of the knowledge will have an online platform and reach even more people!  

From a young age, I was always money-conscious. I remember being as young as 6 and clipping coupons. Did anyone use them? Nope, but I found joy in going through the motions. When I got my first job at 16, I used coupons to get more bang for my buck. Once I saw how helpful they were, I used coupons for everything! Cashiers were impressed by a teenager leaving with a cart full of items for only $20.  

​As time progressed, I wanted to do more with my money. I started investing at the age of 19. I had amassed a few thousand dollars but decided to sell it all when times got rough. Big mistake but I had to do what I could.  

I bought my first house at the age of 26. How? By saving, keeping a close eye on my credit, and living well below my means. Frugal is my middle name! Wealth-building is all about having goals and being laser-focused on accomplishing them. My next goal is to be debt-free (except the house) by age 30.

What makes this even more amazing is I did it all while being a single mother of two little boys, working full-time, and going to school. Now, what's your excuse? Let's get started! Time is ticking!

I have a Bachelor in Business Administration with a concentration in Management, Master of Business Administration (MBA), Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC), SHRM-CP, Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt, and years of experience helping people like you!
