A portrait of personal financial influencer Brooke Brown

Hi, I’m Brooke brown.

I’m a theater kid turned wealth-builder who had to learn money the real-life way. I didn’t come into personal finance through Wall Street, day trading, or flipping houses. I wasn’t raised on Bloomberg, and I definitely didn’t picture myself in this world when I graduated college. In fact, my plan was to work backstage on Broadway.

Yes, I earned a business management master’s degree from Wake Forest, but that alone didn’t prepare me for a journey that included six-figures in student loan debt, medical bills, credit card balances, or even the $250 tow truck fee I let slide into collections. I’ve been underpaid, underemployed, and “subprime.” I started investing “late”. I’m an “asset underdog,” if you will. If any of that sounds familiar, then good because it means you’re in the right place.

Everything I’ve built — paying off $22,000 in consumer debt, buying my first property at age 29.983, and finally earning a six-figure income — I figured out stesp-by-step, mostly alone.

You don’t have to! You have me, and you have the Spent community.

My work is grounded in empathy, experience, and evidence-backed strategy. I create content and resources that help mid-career Millennials transform income, inheritances, and investments into protected, long-term assets as we all prepare for The Great Wealth Transfer with confidence instead of confusion.

If you’re ready to build wealth with intention, clarity, and community behind you, let’s get started.
