Description

Diana Falck is a 52-year-old retired wife, stepmom to six, Glamma to six, and financial literacy advocate residing in Arizona. She is also on the staff of Catching Up to FI as our Facebook group administrator and social media maven.

Diana has an inspiring story of persistence, diligence, and compassion. Burdened with a six-figure MBA debt for over a decade, the Chicago-born Italian was determined to become debt free and enrolled in Financial Peace University. She went gazelle intense to pay off debt, save for an emergency fund, and invest for retirement.

Due to the overhaul in her life, she wanted freedom for others and volunteered in stewardship ministries and then the Financial Independence community. Diana married at 48 and went around the debt mountain for a second round. She is passionate to help and encourage late starters as the journey hits very close to home.
