Tara Jackson a proven business finance leader, investor and entrepreneur. While in her 30’s, Tara’s investments provided enough passive income for both her and her spouse to leave their day jobs in corporate finance and dentistry. Tara’s passive income is more than 3 times her lifestyle expenses and she achieved this by investing in real estate, primarily multifamily and vacant land, as well as other successful companies in multiple industries, including technology/SaaS, e-commerce, energy, and cryptocurrency.
Tara formed The New Money Game to advise busy professionals, who need advice on how to start their path to financial freedom like she did. She feels compelled to give back since so many have given to her and is inspired to help others get out of “survival mode”. This enables them to spend their time in ways that are most meaningful to them and their families and get into the psychological space to focus on emotional and spiritual health.
Prior to becoming an investor and entrepreneur, Tara had a successful career at Amazon and Chevron. She led various engineering projects and held several finance roles that each carried increasing responsibility. While still working in her corporate role in 2018, Tara started to take massive action by educating herself on options outside of the stock market due to her love for finance and investing. She spent over $500,000 on education and she dove in by joining masterminds, conventions, and meeting one-on-one with coaches and experts. This approach to investing allowed her to leave her corporate job in less than two years in 2020.
In her spare time, Tara enjoys spending time with family, educating communities about finance and investing opportunities, and traveling to various countries to learn about different cultures. Tara contributes to causes that provide access to dental care and financial education and she donates to various organizations that support our community (foster care, mental health, etc.).
