Over the past year, our world has been turned upside down. Personal finance is one of the areas that has been most heavily impacted by COVID-19, forcing many Americans to realize the importance of financial literacy, budgeting, and planning. As a result, young millennials and Gen Zers have taken a keen interest in financial education, making “fin-fluences”, influencers who focus on personal finance, money management, and investment-themed content, all the rave.

Nayab Abbasi, an up-and-coming ‘fin-fluencer’, is making a splash in the industry by specializing in helping young adults learn the power of budgeting to reach financial success. Combining her passion for helping people, especially young adults, learn the importance of personal finance and her knowledge of social media, she has found the perfect way to reach and guide as many people as possible.

With detailed posts on a different topic every week, she offers specific tips and advice on how you can apply it to your lifestyle.
