#053: Immigration + Finances
Description
Personal finance is like a language. Each country or culture has its own way of managing, saving, spending, and investing money. While there may be similarities across international borders the fact of the matter is there are numerous aspects of the financial system that are individual to each country.
For immigrants, particularly those who have just arrived in the United States, our financial system might be the most confusing aspect of their new country. It's not just the finances related to the citizenship application, it's also figuring out the banking system, how Americans use credit cards and credit, finding a job, finding a home, paying taxes, and more.
Joining us on the show is Paulina Reyes, a San Diego-based immigration attorney. Paulina shares her own experience immigrating to the U.S. from Mexico as a child with her parents and sisters, how immigrant communities work together to support one another, and more!
