Greater and better financial education will provide the confidence necessary to take control of your financial future and make better decisions.

According to what was reported by the World Economic Forum in his report Global Gender Gap 2022, it will take us 132 years to reach gender parity. Of course, this data is adjusted depending on the geographic region being analyzed. Particularly for Latin America, this ratio drops to 67 yearsfalling behind North America and Europe, which have a value of less than 60 years.

I like to focus my gaze on what has been built and the achievements achieved to continue in this process of conquest with the commitment of everyone, adding wills without leaving anyone out of this path. May it be a path for unity and healthy coexistence.

Many women find it difficult to approach financial conversations.

I propose 3 goals for this year:

And I leave you a guide of basic points to achieve them:

  • I invested time in quality financial training, provided by the right people.
  • Include reading financial information in your daily habits
  • Keep track of all your expenses
  • I reduced expenses ant
  • Think twice before spending
  • Differentiate expenses between fixed and variable
  • Make the necessary changes to tend to achieve a concentration of 50% of your fixed expenses and 30% in variable expenses
  • Adjust your budget to project savings of 20% of your income
  • Know your financial reality

May the upward trend be for financial education.
