About this episode
Ever wondered if saving your first $100K is actually doable—or just another financial fairy tale? I’m Tori Dunlap, founder of Her First $100K and host of the Financial Feminist podcast, and in this first episode of 2025, I’m pulling back the curtain on real-world steps for building tangible wealth—starting with building an emergency fund, to paying off debt, investing, and automation. We’ll also talk about why your mindset matters just as much as the numbers, and how a supportive community can make or break your progress toward that six-figure milestone. Speaking of supportive communities…I’ve been teasing my secret new project for the last few weeks, and today I’m introducing The $100K Club ! The $100K Club is where I’ll be teaching the strategies that earned me financial freedom and curating a community to help you do the same. To learn more, visit http://herfirst100k.com/100K-pod .
