Your Rich BFF: Vivian Tu reveals BTS to her career path from Wall Street & Buzzfeed to Social Media

This week, Jason is joined by former investment trader on Wall Street turned personal finance content creator, Your Rich BFF aka Vivian Tu!
Over the past few years, Vivian has gained popularity on social media for sharing financial advice on investing money and building wealth. Between TikTok and Instagram, she has generated over 6 million followers, who she calls the leftovers, for whom she wants to share the lessons she learned on Wall Street and offer her best personal finance tips and tricks to readers of all ages and demographics.
Vivian gives insight to the three tips she will provide to her own children, what a 529 account is, her method up or out, how to improve your credit score, her time at University of Chicago and which lead to working on Wall Street, how her fiancé was able to land a job on Wall Street without attending a feeder school, what working on Wall Street was like and how she left to work at BuzzFeed. Vivian also reveals how quitting her full-time job allowed her 24/7 to work on her own personal business, how she was able to utilize a forecasting model to allow her to build her business, her various revenue streams, her understanding of social media’s shelf life, how she’s built trust with her audience, and her best and worst investments. Why did she decide to leave Wall Street? How is she creating content that is engaging to her audience? What is a stick and a yard? What is her opinion of billionaires?
Vivian reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!

Love Vivian and especially her tips for financially helping children, as I have an almost 5 year old that I'm doing most of these things she recommends for.

Another scammer talking shitz. She left her 600k job to tell ordinary people to put money in 401k and an IRA account for your pension. To become rich. Thats her secret she wants to tell you. And her own credit score is less than perfect. Get the hell out of dodge 😂
