Eduek Brooks - From Paying Off $47k Debt in 2 Years to Financial Educator

I sat down with Eduek Brooks, a Financial Educator & Coach and the Founder of Two Sides of a Dime. As an immigrant to Canada from Nigeria, Eduek completed her Master's degree in Chemical Engineering and has a certificate in Business Technology from the University of Waterloo.

From working in Engineering to Lifestyle Creep and finding herself in $47,000 of debt, Eduek takes us behind the scenes as to how she made a goal to pay off her debt in 3 years. As reported in the Toronto Star and other media outlets, Eduek paid off her debt in an incredible 20 months and she built a social media following as she showed others how she "hacked" savings and debt payments. From there, Eduek started educating and coaching people on how to pay down debt, money-saving tips, investing and more. Now it's her full-time business! Listen in as she explains why she never considered leaving an engineering career as a sunk cost, what being from Nigeria instilled in her, and her thoughts on budgeting.
