Life is better with cookies!

For most of our lives, it feels like money controls us.

It affects the jobs we accept, where we live, the trips we take and don’t take, and how we feel when we open a bill.

Then in retirement everything is supposed to shift. The things we worked toward all our life get to become our reality!

But it’s hard to turn off that money as master mindset in ourselves…

I want something different for my clients. I want them to experience confidence in their finances *today*.

This doesn’t mean losing discipline when it comes to finance, but it does mean putting money back in its place as the servant. It means stating goals, creating strategies to reach them, and still enjoying life along the way.

Apple recently announced a new feature within its Apple Pay platform that allows for users to "buy now, pay later" when they make purchases up to $1,000 with a debit card.

I encountered this article the other day, and it really struck a chord with me. As a traditionally underserved market, Latino-owned businesses are in desperate need of 401(k) and other retirement options. In fact, only 31% of Hispanic households with income from at least a part-time job report participating in a retirement plan of some kind.

Well, thanks to the firm Finhabits, retirement plan options are becoming more accessible to the nearly 5 million Latino-owned businesses in the U.S. While state mandates are still required for more uptake in these plans becoming widely accessible, this is still a big step in the right direction!

Read all about it:

As state mandates for small businesses take hold, industry players see opportunity in reaching the underserved Latino population.

Did you know that, out of all 500 of the companies listed on the Fortune 500 companies list, only 10.6% of them are led by women?

It's true, and a startling fact. While this number has continued to grow with each year, it points to persistent gender equality issues within many of the companies that encompass the largest portions of our workforce.

These issues have a diminishing effect on the confidence that women may have about their work situation, which can cross over into other areas of their lives. This has the potential to include their financial situation.

However, financial professionals like me can help you regain your confidence with your finances. Me and my team are here to help you on the path towards financial freedom and confidence. In short, we want to help you in whichever way that we can.
