Jacent Wamala has been featured on the Today Show, Good Morning America, The New York Times, Anthony O’Neil’s The Table, and more to share her story of financial freedom.

This is my story of how I managed to become debt-free by paying off over $90,000 in just three years, all before reaching the age of 30. This journey was filled with challenges, sacrifices, and life-changing shifts. In this video, I break down the steps I took and ways that you can implement these changes in your own life to achieve your goals of financial freedom and wellness.

Born in Uganda but raised in Las Vegas, managing money in this economy was not something  discussed in my family. Coming from an immigrant home, I was raised with the mindset of the importance of education and pressured into career options that were centered around high-income jobs. There was little room for the mental and emotional tolls of loss and grief and the major transitions of adulthood in your twenties.

“It was the perfect storm in my life.” –Jacent

At my lowest point was when I received a gift from a family member, a book called The Smart Money Woman by Arese Ugwu. It was then that I began to shift gears into financial wellness.

1 –Calculating my Net Worth

“Calculating my Net Worth was a huge key in starting my financial journey. Being in the negatives was eye opening to me.”

2 –What if?

“I began asking myself this question: What if? Opening this door of opportunity lit a fire within me.”

3 –Plan for You

“Adopt a plan that works with how your mind works. This is what helps you be consistent over time.”

4 –Prepare to Make Sacrifices

“I sold everything I didn’t need around my house. I cut down on all expenses. I was working three jobs. I began living below my means.”

5 –Money Mindset Shifts

“I had to sacrifice my old way of being. Being able to see the possibility and abundance in everything looks like making sacrifices today so you can do great things tomorrow.”

After paying off my debt and saving over $60,000, I have dedicated my life to sharing my story with others as a wealth and wellness coach, teaching women how they can reach their goals of financial freedom.
