My good friend Leo Gonzalez, financial professional, goes on IG Live with me and talks about being financial literate. It's definitely incredibly important to be so, especially if you are running your own business. You're in it to make money right?!

One of the shocking statistics he gave was:

That the average net worth of Hispanic households nationwide was $8,000. When compared with other races like whites was $89,000. (6:11)

That was back when Leo was in college. According to this article, it's about $12,000 to $130,000, Hispanic to white.

Leo is on a mission to help our community of Latinx and people of color understand how to manage their money.
