Meet Tiffany The Budgetnista — the woman dedicated to making life-changing financial education accessible to women worldwide.
Tiffany Aliche, is an award-winning teacher of financial education and is quickly becoming America’s favorite, personal finance expert. She has made it her mission to empower women and provide them with access to the tools and resources needed to create a better life for themselves and their families.
Through her company, The Budgetnista, Tiffany has created a financial movement that has helped over 800, 000 women worldwide collectively save more than $100 million, and pay off over $75 million in debt, purchase homes and transform the way they think about their finances. These women that participate in this global movement call themselves, Dream Catchers.
“It’s my greatest desire to see people live richer lives and I truly believe that one of the most effective ways to do so is to provide access to the tools and resources they need,” says Tiffany.
Tiffany’s credits her experience as a preschool teacher for 10 years in Newark, NJ for defining her purpose behind The Budgetnista…education. She also attributes the parents, students, teachers, and residents of the city for igniting her passion to provide access and resources to people that are otherwise neglected. These communities have been left out of the essential, financial conversations necessary to thrive.
“At its core, teaching is unlocking access. I was inspired to serve and teach by the many women in my life that I know struggle with money,” says Tiffany. “My motto, Live Richer, is really a play on words, it’s not just about the money, it’s about growth. It’s a movement forward.”
Collaborating with organizations that understand the importance of access for all is a critical component for transforming lives. To further her mission Tiffany has created and teaches numerous free, financial classes both online and in person. Her signature course is her annual, Live Richer Challenge and is now in its 5th year with over 800,000 women participating in one or more of her Challenges.
She also blogs about personal finance for The Huffington Post and The Budgetnista Blog, co-hosts an award-winning podcast, Brown Ambition and has an online school, the Live Richer Academy that teaches women how to create, implement and automate their own personalized financial freedom plan.
“I’m grateful for the work I do. It’s what wakes me up in the morning and give me purpose. I’m passionate about the people I serve and I can’t believe I get to make living transforming lives. If nothing else, I know I’ve tried my best to make the world a better place than how I entered it, and that’s all anyone is called to do.
