Apryl Schlueter’s Money Story:

I “struggle” with WASTE. While this has been a gift, because I am so resourceful and can make really great and efficient choices with less effort, but it has given me a lot of guilt when I needed to make big choices or investments, and only 3 years ago, did I take a leap into entrepreneurship to invest in myself to have the career I want. Also, to date, I can’t yet say that I’ve personally officially earned an annual 6 figure salary (but, I will also say that combined with my husband, we have a 7 figure net worth). This is a personal goal that I’d like to achieve, and I’m getting closer; however, money is not the be-all end all priority to me (I mean, I want it, but not at the sacrifice of everything else), managing my stress and well-being and my family will always come first. So I am currently working on how to achieve that goal without the hard hustle.
