Speaking to Truly, Afnan revealed she came from humble beginnings before moving to Canada.
With a chance for a new life, Afnan went to university while working two jobs to cover her bills, including working as a waitress.
She revealed: “I remember being so broke to the point where I look at a pair of jeans at Zara, which is like, you know, $50, and thinking if I had $50 in my bank account to actually buy the jeans.
“And now, just walking into luxury stores, just buying things without looking at the price. It’s an amazing feeling.”
Now aged 23, Afnan is an investor and works in network marketing and has even dubbed herself ‘the Kim Kardashian of networking’.
She says that in just two years, her life has gone from rags to riches.
When she first got into the profession, she said she was happy making £2,200 a month to get by so she could quit her role as a waitress.
But in just two years, her monthly earnings reached £66,000.
She says much of what she does relies on social media, and while she loves buying designer goods, she loves investing more.
In the video, she headed to Rodeo Drive in LA and decided to kit her work team out with Burberry goodies.
Afnan also revealed that her goal was to help her parents to retire early, which she has already been able to do.
She adds: “When I finally did that, it was the best thing ever.
“I was actually visiting them a month ago, it was a Monday morning at like 11:00 a.m. and they were just sitting in the backyard doing absolutely nothing, sipping coffee, and that to me was just everything.”
The clip soon went viral on Truly with over 13k views and many took to the comments to share their thoughts.
One person wrote: “These ladies are so inspiring!”
Another commented: “What these girls have done is amazing, don’t get me wrong… But I would respect them more if they spent the wealth getting others out of poverty/giving to refugees.”
How to effectively manage your money
Kara Gammell, finance expert at MoneySuperMarket, gives tips on how to get a handle on your finances so you have more left for saving,
- Analyse your spending
If you’re struggling to get a grip on your finances, the way to start is to do a proper inventory.
Try Emma, the money management app, which uses open banking to combine information from all your bank accounts, savings accounts and credit cards, plus investments. The app then highlights any wasteful subscriptions and costly debt and helps streamline your savings.
What’s more, it analyses your personal finances and recommends ways to conserve money so that you can get on track financially more easily than ever.
If you want to have a deep dive into your spending habits, go through your bank statement at the end of each month and give every purchase a rating of one, two or three.
Mark with a ‘one’ any purchases that didn’t make you feel good; give a ‘two’ rating to things that felt ‘sort of good but indifferent’; and mark with ‘three’ any purchases that you would make all over again in a heartbeat.
You’ll be surprised by what you learn.
- Monitor your credit report
From overdrafts to loans, credit cards, mobile phones and mortgages, it can be hard to keep track of your finances, and it can be all too simple to find yourself in the dark about how much debt you have in total.
But this information forms your credit score, which is used by lenders to determine whether you’ll be offered competitive rates and offers for financial products, or even whether you will even be accepted when you make an application.
I use MoneySuperMarket’s Credit Score tool, which is a free credit report tool that lets me see all my account balances in one place.
I’m automatically notified when my credit report is updated monthly, which can be a huge help in avoiding any financial problems from spiralling and means I always know what my overall financial situation is.
The tool also suggests ways to improve your credit score, so you’re more likely to be offered competitive interest rates, which helps you save money in the long run.
“I always have some respect for those who come from nothing and make something for themselves,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “This is motivation and they are very intelligent women making so much money treating themselves. I love it.”
