María Manuela Córdoba Aguirre

Lawyer, author, philanthropist, and youth leader

I'm a lawyer and writer of the book "36 hours of flight, 12 days of peace," a philanthropist, leader, and youth leader. I believe that being financially healthy means having the mental health to perform daily actions, the physical health to move with attitude, and being organized and realistic about what can be done. With discipline and order in life, purposes are achieved. My mission is to invest my time and actions in things that contribute to the world and help others fulfill their purposes while exploring different cultures and people.

"If it doesn't give you peace, don't invest your time, energy or resources."

— Personal Philosophy

This principle guides every decision I make. Financial health isn't just about accumulating wealth—it's about investing in what brings peace, purpose, and meaning. If something drains your energy or disturbs your peace, it's not worth your resources, no matter how profitable it appears.

Personal Philosophy

What does being financially healthy mean to you?

To be financially healthy is to have mental health to perform the daily actions of human beings, it is also to have physical health to move and have attitude, as well as to be organized and real about what can be done. If there is discipline and order in life, the purposes are achieved. Financial health is holistic—it connects mind, body, and action.

What motivates your work in financial health?

I am motivated to be financially healthy to be able to invest my time and my actions in things that contribute to the world and help others to fulfill their purposes, as well as to explore the world, different cultures and people that always have something to contribute to our lives. Financial health gives me the freedom to focus on what truly matters.

Current Goal

Save money to be able to invest in assets, as well as to maintain a stable salary that will allow me to invest in future stocks. As a young person, I want to build financial stability that enables me to contribute meaningfully to the world while exploring different cultures and helping others fulfill their purposes.
