In these tough times when millions of people do not have savings, they live paycheck to paycheck; times when they don't have control of their finances, and stress about debt or even lose what little they have, it is necessary to start building a solid base and start looking towards achieving financial freedom. In this personal finance self-help guide, Xavier's goal is to help those who are not ready to face financial crisis as the one's we are living during these hard times. We are living one of the greatest economic crashes in decades, with jobs and investments lost, foreclosures and bankruptcies up. Millions of Hispanics feel useless in the midst of this financial chaos, and are overwhelmed with fear and uncertainty. However, these are also times of opportunity to start fresh and put order to one's personal finances and build solidity in order to withstand another economic tsunami.
