Vivian Tu, trusted by over 2 million followers to dispense sound financial wisdom, has a word of advice if you’re looking to get your money in order: STRIP.
It’s an acronym that Tu, 28, has developed since launching personal finance TikTok Your Rich BFF nearly two years ago after colleagues began asking the former Wall Street trader for financial advice. In the time since, she’s posted at least one video a day breaking open the floodgates on taboos around salary, saving, and budgeting in an effort to make financial literacy digestible with relatability and wit. “STRIP” is essentially a starter pack for getting started in building wealth, a method that Tu followed herself.
