How Kelly built a $280K portfolio and bought two investment properties before 30

Kelly grew up watching her immigrant parents work two jobs, seven days a week, after arriving in Australia with very little money.

She thought the only path to wealth was to work harder.

Then she discovered investing and realised her money could work just as hard as she did.

Before turning 30, she's built a $280,000 investment portfolio and bought two investment properties.

Jess sits down with Kelly to unpack the lessons she learned from watching her parents' sacrifices, why she focuses on growing her income as much as her investments (more than doubling it in just a few years), how she uses both property and shares to build wealth and why you absolutely don't need to be rich to get started.
