Let’s uplift each other and help our community build wealth, not only for traveling but for a healthy sustainable financial future.
I’m usually a frugal, organized, budget-obsessed type of person, but two years living on a volunteer stipend while ending my 20s and going into my 30s sent me into one of the most stressful whirlwinds of my life. It’s taken over a year to get “back in the black” since completing my service (excluding student loans of course), and get back to my happy state of savings. This article is a culmination of me finding inspiration while I work on gaining back financial stability, but also wanting to further help other Latinxs take charge of their finances. The following is a compiled list of expert women budget-ers, savings gurus, and financial advisors to follow or reach out to.

Her Instagram profile description states “✨Teaching women they’re worthy of having it all & how to master their finances to get it”, which is crystal clear thanks to her carefully curated coral-hued feed.

Natalie Torres-Haddad – Financially Savvy Latina

I might order 1 or 2 of those books from Amazon.
Since I was young until now, I always want to save, but unfortunately, I have very strong spending urges.
One must have really strong self-control to embark in a long term savings journey.
Love your blog, hope to be back 🙂
