A SAFE PLACE TO LEARN ABOUT MONEY
My name is Kofi, Founder of 40LBElephant. Like most people I was advised to go to college, get a degree, and get a good paying job. However there should have been some counseling for how to deal with the student loan companies. As a result of this advice I’m a proud college graduate who took his talents to Georgia. I love personal finance from helping people with paying off debt to investing, giving back, all the way to retirement. May 1, 2017 I became debt free and I want to share the message, tools, strategy, and create a space that allows people to share openly about their financial journey. It’s my goal to help a generation become debt free. My friend Pat told me “People don’t see us in our valley’s, they see us at our peak and don’t know about the journey it took to get to the top of the mountain.” Let’s walk the path together to financial freedom.
