Rose Han's journey from indebted graduate to a successful financial analyst highlights the pressures of being a first-generation immigrant in the U.S. Initially burdened by $100,000 in debt, Han's turning point came when she acknowledged the necessity to tackle her financial situation. Through a raise at work, additional revenue streams, and vigilant spending habits, Han not only paid off her debts but also started investing. Her story reflects resilience, the importance of financial education, and the drive to honor one's roots while achieving personal goals.
"I realized, if I want the life that I want to have, this debt is not going away. I'm going to have to address it."
"The other piece of it is actually having your expenses under control, so that when you do make more, all that can go toward debt and not just lifestyle creep."
