Here's how Haley Sacks, aka mrsdowjones, is helping young adults financially survive coronavirus crisis. investinyou (In partnership with acorns.)
Her thirst for learning has never since wavered, and with each meme, each video, each newsletter, Sacks' aim is always the same: to educate young adults and give them the confidence to secure a healthy financial future.
She's not surprised, though, about how much young people don't understand when it comes to finances. "It has nothing to do with their intellect. They are at a complete disadvantage because of the education system, and then they are just expected to know it. And the ways they are supposed to learn about it just automatically makes you feel terrified, confused and about 8 million steps behind and like so much more stupid than everyone else.
Sacks' confidence and edgy style are also apparent in her work. Starting off with her trademark "What's up, rich people? It's me, Haley, aka Mrs Dow Jones," her videos are both inspiring and funny. Her memes — Tiger King's Joe Exotic to explain first-quarter earnings, and Taylor Swift to clarify the meaning of a hedge fund — get shared thousands of times every day.
But Sacks says this isn't going to stop her. "If you find your passion, it doesn't matter what will get in your way, because you will keep going. I really believe in just failing upward."The final week of Sacks' stimulus program, beginning May 25, will focus on giving back. "The best way to stimulate your personal economy is to give back," she says. "Generosity makes you happier.
