She Was Making $34/hr as a NURSE in California

Hey there nurse,

Imagine this: You’re working long hours, juggling endless tasks, and dreaming of something more—but you stay, because the money’s decent and the path feels secure.

Now picture someone who didn’t.

Monique grew up in the Philippines, started out as a flight attendant, and eventually landed in the U.S. with a nursing license and a mission. But here’s where it gets interesting: instead of climbing the traditional career ladder, she made bold moves most nurses wouldn’t dare try.

💡 She saved $40,000 while earning just $35/hr. 🏡 Bought a duplex that now helps pay her mortgage. 💰 Built a lifestyle that puts time with her daughter first.

And then, she did the unthinkable—she walked away.

Why did she leave nursing when most would’ve stayed? How did she manage to save so aggressively while others struggled to get by? And what’s she doing now that allows her to live life entirely on her terms?

Monique lays it all out in this interview—her story, her struggles, and the surprising strategies she used to build her financial safety net while working an ordinary nursing job.

You won’t look at your paycheck—or your future—the same way after hearing what she did (especially if you’re a foreign nurse looking to move to the US).
