About Sandy

“Everyone should learn about personal finance so that their future self can thank them for it.”

Sandy Yong is a TEDx and keynote speaker and award-winning author of the intriguing and informative book The Money Master: Inside Secrets On How to Make Your Money Grow and Stay Safe.

Achieving her business degree during the economic recession, Sandy promptly paid off her student loan and started working in the corporate world. Soon she realized that she needed to save her hard-earned money and look into various investment options to achieve her financial goals. She wanted the ability to buy a car, have her dream wedding, save for a house, go on a vacation and ultimately retire!

Like most people, she approached (naively and in earnest) one of the big banks and purchased high-fee, high-risk mutual funds. For a while, the funds did very well, but soon after lost thousands. Naturally, she was very frustrated and upset. From that moment, she took matters into her own hands and committed to learning how to invest her money on her own terms. One of her friends recommended that she read Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad — that advice inspired Sandy to read a plethora of personal finance books.

Sandy made it her business over the past decade to read dozens of personal finance and investing books. As a result, she has become a respected DIY investor with a personal online brokerage account, successfully creating a six-figure portfolio and ownership of several Canadian properties.

As a proud and seasoned member of Toastmasters International, Sandy has honed her professional speaking skills. She blends her passion for personal finance with powerful professional speaking to educate adults on financial literacy.
