When our wallets aren’t doing well, chances are neither is our mental health. Because when you’re first-gen (be that a student, wealth-builder, or immigrant), our financial background may not have been the most stable. That means that now, as adults, we tend to operate and view our finances from a scarcity mindset.Loving this episode? Leave us a review on Apple podcasts.
