How Immigrants Can Build Wealth in Canada (Even on a Low Income)
One emergency can erase everything you’ve built - book a complimentary call to protect your income today - https://www.astoldbycanadianimmigrants.com/financialbroker ----- Most immigrants who come to Canada are amazing at saving money. We'll hustle, work multiple jobs, skip the fancy stuff... but somehow still feel broke. Sound familiar? Here's what nobody tells you: saving alone won't build wealth. Actually, with inflation eating away at your savings account, you're losing money just letting it sit there. In this conversation, Reni breaks down exactly how she went from minimum wage at 16 to building a $400K investment portfolio by 29 - and no, her parents weren't rich. They were Nigerian immigrants who learned this stuff the hard way and passed it down.
