Finances for First Generation Families

<p>The importance of family and finances for first-generation service members is something I learned early on as a financial coach in the community. There are a large number of service members that are first-generation Americans. And often those service members are financially responsible for extended members of their family. Which can have an impact on their budget and meeting their own financial obligations.</p> <p>In this episode, we talk about the financial struggles that first-gen Americans face, family expectations and culture, and the importance of financial literacy.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My guest knows a thing or two about finances and first-gen families.
