Description

A practical guide to financial literacy, money management, and becoming a poderosa with your dinero, tailored to a Latinx audience from the host of the Yo Quiero Dinero podcast.

In many immigrant households, money isn't often a topic of discussion, so financial education can be minimal-especially when a family is just trying to survive the day-to-day. With a new generation of first-and-second generation kids who are perhaps the first in their households to go to college, or earn more than their parents or grandparents ever could, this new access to wealth can be confusing and the prevailing wisdom can be misleading, especially when it is not culturally sensitive. This book is tailor made for those who are ready to understand money better and do more with it; it offers a new generation of Latinx/e folks access to real financial literacy. While there are several resources that provide financial advice, data suggests, for certain topics, readers are more likely to trust an author who is familiar with their culture. By appealing to the vast Latinx/e community in the United States, Torres makes financial freedom accessible for an audience who's underrepresented in this space.
