202: Building Wealth As A First Generation Everything (Rosemary's Story)

On today's episode, Rosemary shares what it really means to grow up as a first-generation everything. Rosemary is a "Zennial" first-generation immigrant on a journey of building first-generation wealth. When she graduated from college, she landed a job in tech making over double what her family brought home per year. After her first year of working, she received a promotion, another one in her second year, and switched jobs in her third year to get a 43% salary increase. Throughout this time Rosemary also had the responsibility to support her family financially from a few hundred dollars sporadically to paying the mortgage and giving away her car. Still, Rosemary managed to work on her money goals by paying off $22,281 in debt and is on track to have $100K invested by the end of the year. She is committed to providing money motivation and covering money topics women didn't learn growing up.
