From tracking your spending to opening a certain kind of savings account, here’s how to get your money in order.

When it comes to money, debt, budgeting and investing, it can be hard to know where to start. The path to financial success is different for everyone, and it can even mean different things to different people.

For you, financial success might mean having a lot of money in your savings that you can leave to your children and grandchildren. For someone else, financial success may mean being able to book flights as often as they want. And there is no right or wrong answer.

But it is important to understand your money and know what goals are important for you, so that you can set yourself up for financial success as you move through this expensive life.

I am Mexican-American, born and raised in Tucson, Arizona. I currently live in West Hollywood, working in Los Angeles as a Band & Orchestra Instructor and as a personal finance coach at RPF Education, which I founded.

I am currently working on expanding my personal finance company, RPF Education. We are very active on our TikTok and Instagram accounts, we are working on getting a website ready for you all! I am really proud that despite being in its infancy, RPF is living its mission of empowering people to live money stress free through financial education. While our clients are still on their journey and are actively working, they consistently report feeling much more confident when it comes to their finances. Because we track their net-worth, debt to income ratio, and money habits, we can see the progress in our metrics. The intentionality of serving the 1st Gen Bipoc community has been beautiful as well. We’re very proud of our team and the representation our community can see as we are all women, 1st Gen, Latinx, and queer.

There has been a cultural shift in how we talk about money, but it can get tricky navigating these changes as first gen kids – and how we are altering these maps for our own children. Generational trauma can take many shapes and there are some unique ones we experience as children of immigrants.

We’re super lucky to have financial educator Gaby Rincón with us for 3 WHOLE EPISODES. We share personal stories, observations, and Gaby even has some jumpstart advice on how we can start having a healthier relationship with our money.

We’re just barely breaking the ice in this part one of three – an all new episode of Latinas Empowering Latinas, ‘Money trauma & Managing finances as a 1st Gen. with Gaby Rincón’.

There is some serious baggage to unpack when it comes to money as a first generation American
Is generational financial trauma a thing?
Financial luxuries that we take for granted
Ways to take control of our finances seem out of reach, but are they really?
Cultural expenses that aren’t necessarily considered
How do we break these cycles and not cause further anxiety in our kids?
Gaby has some baby steps to get you started on saving
