#09: From Poverty to a $510K Net Worth: How This First-Gen Eldest Daughter Made It Happen

Viviana Vazquez is the first-gen Latina creator behind OverGenPoverty. She grew up in New York City watching her dad support a family of five on less than $30,000 a year, became the family breadwinner on a teacher's salary, and today she and her husband Xavi have a combined net worth of $510,000. She's a former teacher turned full-time business owner and co-host of the Tech Quiero Más podcast. In this episode, she sits down with me to break down how she actually affords the lifestyle.

Viviana and I walk through her income climb, from a $57,000 teaching salary to earning $185,000 in tech, and the $130,000 in revenue her business has already brought in this year. She breaks down her actual payday routine with Xavi down to the dollar, shares exactly what makes up her $510K net worth, and takes us inside their World Cup trip to Mexico they spent three years saving for.

Viviana reveals what it really costs to be the first, from helping her parents pay off $80,000 in debt to taping her dad's credit cards, how she and Xavi turned a college friendship into a wealth-building partnership with two weddings and a People magazine feature along the way, and what she's working toward affording next.
