Pennies to Wealth

Helping you live within your means and accomplish your financial goals.

Hi, I’m Dannie! Financial Educator, coach, and your virtual wealthy cousin!

My Story

Why Pennies to Wealth?

Why not? I grew up believing that living paycheck to paycheck was normal and that attaining anything greater was reserved for high earners like doctors and lawyers. I thought being in debt was normal. Struggle was normal. Financial stress was normal.

Pennies to Wealth evolved from a documentation of my personal journey from poverty to stability and turned into a mission to encourage others to go against the limitations placed on them by society, family and friends. Stability can be normal. Financial freedom can be normal.

After I went through my divorce, I immediately thought, “What was all of this for?”. Why did I finally obtain debt freedom, my dream salary and end up with no one to share it with? What goals should I strive for now? So often, we tie our goals to our current circumstances yet, things change, people leave and desires evolve.

This blog is all about my journey and providing you with free education as well. Hope you decide to tag along.

My Values & Beliefs

Personal Finance is Personal

Always do what works best for you. Assess your own situation, create a plan and execute.

Wealth encompasses more than money

Physical health, emotional health, financial health, and mental health all contribute to living a wealthy life.

Financial education should be accessible to all

My content is free because I needed a me when I was navigating my finances.

My Approach

I’ve been advocating against one size fit all advice since before it was trendy. I enjoy tailoring my advice to the individual and I’ll do the same for you.

Whether I’m creating free content for this site or social media platforms, you’ll be able to walk away with actionable tips to begin on the path of changing your life. 

I won’t sugarcoat the hard parts, but I’ll also celebrate the “tiniest” wins with you. I want to be there for you every step of the way.
