Welcome to Money Multiplied! Here you will find lifestyle content and tips to help you budget your money and save for personal financial goals.
My name is Terri King, I started this blog in 2019 not too long after graduating college. I am a proud HBCU alum. N.C. Central University is where I discovered my passion for creative writing and also where I racked up nearly $60,000 in student loan debt.
At the time I figured I’d be forced to accept that this was all part of “adulting” — something everyone lived with and being in debt was no big deal.
So, like most adults I worked, living paycheck to paycheck struggling to make ends meet.
My income was extremely irregular and I bussed tables, mainly collecting cash tips. This led me to exploring budgeting with the cash envelope system.
Things started to look up, I knew where my money was going and started to track my spending, paying close attention to what was truly a need versus a want.
Eventually, I landed my first full time job working for a major financial services company. There, my eyes were truly opened.
I realized the value of having a solid financial plan, investing for the future and planning for emergencies.
I ended up saving $10,000 in six months and relocated to a new city!
Although things aren’t perfect I’ve grown so much and I’m very happy you’re here!
You can expect lifestyle content from me around fashionable affordable finds and travel.
I also write about professional development, securing the bag and of course budgeting and cash stuffing.
