Kickstart Your Journey to Financial Independence

ADPi Alumnae, CEO and Founder of Centsibly, Natalee McIntyre will deliver a presentation to kickstart your journey toward financial independence. In this session, Natalee will walk you through some of the most important concepts in personal finance including: setting goals, budgeting, investing, credit scores and insurance. 

Upon graduating from college, Natalee set a goal to travel around the world. She didn’t know where she’d go or when, but she knew it was going to cost a lot of money. Knowing nothing about personal finance, she started to research. Within three and a half years, Natalee was able to save 100K with an average salary of 67K. She then took that money and lived out of a backpack for a year and a half traveling to 165 cities in 39 countries. You can read her full story here. After returning to the US she decided to start her own personal finance company, Centsibly, to help others kickstart their financial independence journey. For more information about Centsibly, or to download the app, visit our website.
