[@libbysworld7649]

Great journey. Lots of twists n turns! 🙂 I appreciate you sharing the highs and lows. So very important! 😀Can't wait to see what is to come in your journey. Thank you, Leila.

Ahh thank you SO much!! ❤️

Because of Lelia's advice I just finished my credit card debts 😁

This goes to show you cant really start getting "ahead" until 60k+. Of course thats pre 2020 numbers. Now its probably closer to 75k. I noticed the same thing around 60k I was able to do more than just work to pay bills...

[@PersonalFinancewithLeila]

Yeah seriously!! With high amounts of debt though I think $60K to $75K is still tough these days, especially if you're living on your own. I say $90K to $100K is ideal 😬

Just turned 31 and just permanently immigrated to the USA with my MBA after marrying an 'American chick'. I'm probably a decade behind in terms of earnings but ready to accumulate more over the next 10-20 years, thank you for your great content !

[@PersonalFinancewithLeila]

Awesome!! So much progress can be made during that time, so that's very exciting. Thank you for watching!!

I absolutely love this, salary transparency vids are some of my faves 💗I recently realized that I have almost tripled my income since my first "real job" out of university and I think a lot of that is because of people like you talking so openly about their income. Thank you for sharing!!

[@PersonalFinancewithLeila]

Amazing!! Thank you for watching!! ❤️

If you ever want to look up what you made for each year, pull your Social Security document. It’ll show you what you got paid each year.

[@PersonalFinancewithLeila]

Mine are all incorrect 🙃 lol Since I was a "Fellow" and not an employee while at the CDC it's reported differently

[@georgina4874]

💕💕💕 Happy Birthday Month!!!! All-in-all you have done marvelously!

Thank you for sharing 😊❤😊

[@alwaysemilia]

Hey Leila! This is super relatable to me. College ultimately helped me, but I didn’t know what I was doing, and I’m just thankful I didn’t make worse decisions 😂 I think in 2024 with my 401k match and bonus (paid in March 2025) I’ll end up around $175k for all-in compensation. Feels totally insane, since my first job at 16 was at Auntie Anne’s for 5.50/hr, and I didn’t make much of an increase until after getting my MBA at 30. It’s been a ride but we just keep making better decisions and paying it forward!

[@PersonalFinancewithLeila]

That is AMAZING!!

[@Flgirl7777]

What a great journey! How did the career transition go? Did you attend classes to learn about Salesforce?

[@PersonalFinancewithLeila]

Thank you! Salesforce offers 'Trailhead' where you can learn Salesforce for free. I started with that but ultimately joined the Talent Stacker program. I have several videos talking about Salesforce!
