Financially Intentional Make Your Nine to Five Fund Your Freedom Not Your Burnout - Episode 151
In today's episode, I talk with Angel Mathis about how she paid off a big debt, saved a lot, and made work optional as a nurse. We share simple steps you can copy, like tracking your money, using your benefits, and investing a little each month. Angel also tells the real story of burnout and how clear boundaries and a plan helped her heal. We talk about buying a home with cash, taking time off to hike and travel, and building a life you love without fancy math.
About our guest:
Angel Mathis is the founder and CEO of Nurses Investing For Wealth. She’s been a nurse for 23 years and an NP for 17. She’s served as President of the King County Nurses Association in Seattle, WA and is a former American Nurses Association Advocacy Institute Fellow. Her work has been featured in journals like the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and Journal of Infectious Diseases.
When Angel became a nurse, she started building her own money method with a singular goal: to break her family’s generational poverty cycle. Even though her first nursing job paid her just $16/hr, she was able to pay off $200,000 of debt, buy her home in cash, cars in cash, and make work optional by her mid-thirties. She’s so glad she did, because the realities of nursing left her exhausted, and she took 5 years off to recover.
Now she has turned her money method into a State Board of Nursing Continuing Education program, called Ultimate Nurse Investing. In it she teaches nurses how to fund their future using small portions of their paycheck so they can work less (and still retire early) if they want to. You can learn more, and even get her free training on her website at https://learn.nursesinvesting.com/
