Bola Sol on #debtstagram, what success means and being our parents' retirement plan

Bola Sol is a self-defined personal finance guru - but not because she has a lot of money or because she has it all sorted.

The new generation of money 'influencers' are about being open and relatable and real, rather than posting pictures with designer handbags. Bola encourages us to have a total rethink on how we talk about and behave around money. At 27, she is open about her personal challenges and learning from failure. In fact, the phrase 'money philosopher' feels more accurate.

We talked about staring at old people (pensions... ), why a credit card is not your friend and when we should take a step back from social media.
