Pass on Generational Wealth Not Generational Debt

Pass on generational wealth and not generational debt in order to build your legacy. It is your duty and responsibility to leave your future children and grandchildren something positive behind.

My name is Takiia L. Anderson also known as The Frugal Biddy. I am a licensed attorney who was able to pay off six figures in student loan, credit card debt and car loan debt in less than nine years. I did this all the while being a single parent! I graduated from law school in 1999 with approximately $111,000 in student loan debt, an almost two-year old daughter and my entry level salary was $34,102. I made a lot of sacrifices in order to ensure that I stayed laser focused on paying off my debt and saving the maximum I could towards my retirement. Not only did I clear out six figures of debt but I was also able to save so far $500,000 in my retirement and $15,000 of an emergency fund. Additionally, I saved three years worth of college tuition for my daughter. I never had anyone sit down and instruct me on how I should deal with debt or how I should save money. I learned it all on my own. And while I am not perfect and I have made mistakes I believe that anyone who follows me will gain a wealth of knowledge. My desire is to be an accountability partner for anyone who reads my blog. I truly believe that YOU can live a debt free life and can amass savings. It may take some time but it can be done.
