I, Lois Center-Shabazz am the founder of MsFinancialSavvy.com and the author of the 3-time award-winning book, Let's Get Financial Savvy! and the popular, Savvy Budget Diary. I am also a personal finance lecturer, radio, and television commentator.
I am a previous dentist who saw many hard-working Americans who had difficulty paying for dental treatment, even those with insurance. Then there were the women patients who had such difficulty paying for dental treatment for themselves or their children after they divorced. Then one day I sat back and thought how I could understand their plight and how a person could get into that situation. Even though I was a dentist I spent years struggling to pay off dental school loan debt, (thank goodness, college was almost free at the time in California). After struggling with school loan debt, then I took on a business loan so I could become a full fledged business owning dentist. Because of my study of finance by that time
I paid off a $60,000 business loan in just 4-1/2 years ($60,000 was three times the average at that time). That was amazing because, the loan could easily have stretched to 20-30 years.
After successfully paying off my school loans and business loans I knew I had to become proactive with my financial status and my financial future. So, I started to study money and finances every chance I got.
As a result of the expertise I have gained from long term research and study in the investment field I decided I had no other choice except to share my knowledge with others after receiving such a wonderful gift from above. To share my gift I produced a personal finance website, www.MsFinancialSavvy.com, then, after I was repeatedly asked to produce a written newsletter or something similar, I decided a book was
in order. Hence, the publication of my first book, Let's Get Financial Savvy!
