In today's 6-Figure Millennial episode, we talk with Darcy from "We Want Guac" blog. Darcy's journey has brought her from the humble beginnings of living in a shared attic apartment with no heat or AC after graduation. Fast forward, and she has managed to amass a $270k net worth at 28 years old. Listen as Darcy talks about several aspects of this journey, such as:

- Her mindset on living in the attic, and how she navigated this living situation

- How Darcy began investing and what resources she used to learn how to invest

- Darcy's mindset when the March 2020 market crash hit

- How building a nest egg can give you leverage in your work situation

- How much money you need to invest before 30 years old to (theoretically) be able to retire

Darcy also spoke about her blog and how she is using it as a tool to reach Gen Z to develop their careers, build their income, and gain investing knowledge early on in life. Spoiler alert! One of these tools may or may not include writing a rap song that is....shall we say "FIRE"? And we may or may not have featured a clip of this song in the episode.
