Annie Margarita Yang is more than a finance guru; she’s a lifeline for Millennials navigating a rigged system.
Annie is a no-fluff YouTube personality with over one million views, and the best-selling author of two books, The 5-Day Job Search and 1,001 Ways to Save Money.
A part of the demographic she serves—Millennials facing financial hurdles previous generations didn’t. Annie’s firsthand experience translates into targeted advice that doesn’t just recycle general platitudes. Whether escaping the debt trap or creating a savings strategy that works, Annie is all about actionable solutions that yield results.
Annie’s primary focus now is her award-winning book, The 5-Day Job Search, which has become a must-read for young professionals clawing their way out of student loan debt while trying to keep a well-paying job. It is also a page-turner for Gen Zers looking to pursue their passions without getting into debt at all.
Not just an online personality, she also has a corporate career offline. By day, Annie is an accounting manager and business operations leader in the real estate industry. Her true passion, however, is empowering people to take charge of their financial destiny so they have funds for the things that truly matter in life.
Annie’s backstory is as compelling as her advice. She side-stepped the student loan minefield by taking on minimum-wage jobs right after high school. It wasn’t easy, but during this time she developed a love for frugal living, self-education, and planning for the future. Annie eventually earned her B.A. in Communications from Thomas Edison State University, proving that a debt-free education was still possible.
Based in Boston with her supportive husband, Annie also finds solace in learning the piano, a hobby that adds another dimension to her dynamic personality.
