250 shoes. Zero Savings

Wanini Wachira once owned around 250 pairs of shoes. As her career and income grew, so did her spending. Then came credit-card debt, a failed investment and the financial pressure of raising a family. At 40, she decided to change the way she handled money. The same discipline she used to build teams, grow sales and understand consumers, she finally applied to her own finances. Emergency savings. Investments. A retirement plan. A completely different relationship with money.
