Financially Lit!

The Modern Latina's Guide to Level Up Your Dinero & Become Financially Poderosa

De: Jannese Torres

Narrado por: Jannese Torres

Build financial literacy, improve your money management skills, and make the dinero work for you!

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. Despite being the largest minority group in the United States, the Latino community still faces cultural and systemic barriers that prevent them from building wealth. As a first-generation Latina, Jannese Torres, award-winning money expert, educator, and podcaster, knows these unique challenges well. She set out to pursue the traditional American Dream, becoming the first woman in her family to graduate from college, climb the corporate ladder, and secure the six-figure paycheck, only to find herself miserable and unfulfilled. She soon realized that everything she’d been taught about money and success wasn’t as it seemed. After discovering the true meaning of wealth, Torres resolved to pave her own path, leaving the life she was told she should want for one of entrepreneurship, autonomy, and financial freedom.

In Financially Lit! Torres offers you culturally relevant and relatable personal finance advice that will allow you to finally feel seen, heard, and understood. Whether it’s the guilt you feel from being the first person to “make it” while members of your family are still struggling, or the way financial trauma manifests itself in negative and limiting beliefs around money, Torres is here to guide you through it all.

With the warmth and no-nonsense wisdom of someone who’s been there before, Torres will teach you how to:

• set boundaries with your dinero
• protect yourself from financial abuse
• navigate the complicated relationship between amor and money
• invest like a white dude—or better!

With Financially Lit! at your side, you’ll harness the powerful ways money can be used to create the life of your dreams, and be empowered to step into financial freedom.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Relatable Actionable Steps To Conquer Your Money

I love the way Jannese expresses out loud flawlessly what I’m thinking about in my head as first gen Latina. The way she puts things into perspective and gives you tools to get a handle on your dinero is the honest truth. Facing the reality that most of this information should be public knowledge but for some of us has become taboo in our culture. 👏🏽 way to go chica, paving a way for all to find a way to building wealth in society, there’s abundance for all!

Amazing!

Such a great and informative book for Latinas! I highly recommend this book. I learned so much about financial literacy.

Inspiring - First gen Latina

Inspiring, relatable, engaging, straight to the point. Humorous. I learned so much. Time to work!

Fantastic for first gen

As a Latina in finance, I love that Jannese broke it down! She really is paving the way!

Empowering!

This book sheds light on some hard truths mainly that we (Latinas) are the lowest paid on the totem pole. However, Jannese’s personal success story is changing this and paving the way for other Latinas’ financial success. Thank you Jannese for writing a very relatable and informative book that covers the essentials in financial empowerment. Cheers to more success stories like yours!

Everything you need in a PF book!

This book is top to bottom every single thing you didn’t learn about in school but you definitely need to know regarding your money. I can’t recommend it enough.

Clarity and Inspiration

Hot topic that is life changing. Its a lot of information broken down in a manner that is understandable, inspiring, and manageable. It is culturally relateable; yet there is value in it for everyone. Even my adult son asked for the book while overhearing me listen. The reader/writer makes you feel that Financially Lit was written just for you. The anecdotal stories help connect the reader to the content. Janesse knows there is space in this world of financial freedom and literacy for all of us. I'm ready to put my 16 year old daughter on to it next. I have ordered a few copies of the book to share with the young Latina women in my life: daughter of friends, friends of my daughter, and sorority sisters. Janesse, your book gives new meaning to believe in myself, educating myself, and motivating myself. I see the debt free life coming through! I won't quit!!! Thanks for the tips.
