Kylie Lipinski

Financial Trainer

she/her

Washington, DC

Kylie's interest in personal finance was piqued when she started learning how to manage her own finances with the help of the "Martinis and Your Money" podcast. Aligning her money with her values through intentional saving allowed Kylie to take two career breaks: once to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail and, more recently, to travel around the world. She thrives on helping people change their relationship with money and set realistic goals to move them closer to the lives they want.

What is the best financial advice you were ever given?
Money is just a tool for living your best life—nothing more, nothing less.

What are you working for?

Financial flexibility and more time outside

What’s your best and worst financial decision?

My worst financial decision was leaving my Roth IRA in cash for more than a year because I didn’t know how to invest it. My best financial decision has working at the Financial Gym because I’ve learned so much about how to make financial decisions.

What’s your favorite financial tip?

Borrow rather than buy if you can! It keeps more money in your wallet and less clutter in your closet.
