FinGym Helped Me Deal With My Generational Money Trauma
Being Latinx, we are told to be silent about money, to keep our financial problems to ourselves and to not trust "the system". With that said, I grew up not understanding how to manage my money but I did know I needed to save but had no idea how. Fast forward to being in my early 20s and in debt for what I felt was absolutely no reason, I realized I needed to work with someone and be frank about my spending and my goals. I've been working with Sara since April and I'd like to list off everything she's help me accomplish in these past five months and I hope it inspires you to get your finances in check. - Paid off about 5k in credit card debt - Paid off the last 2k of my car loan - Funded 9k into my emergency fund - Raised my credit score from the low 500s to the high 600s - PURCHASED A MULTI-FAMILY HOME! (because my debt to income ratio was basically gone) - Maintained my goal of contributing 5% of my salary to my 401k, even though most people told me not to! So with that, I'd like to just say thank you to the FinGym team for allowing me to become financially independent from my credit card debts. Now on to tackle my student loans! 💪🏽
