Mariana Nunes Santos Gomes

Social entrepreneur driven by the goal of impacting lives

I'm a social entrepreneur studying economics and administration, driven by the belief that all young people can have a good relationship with money and use resources efficiently to achieve their dreams and goals. I've learned that humans have unlimited needs but limited resources, and we need to be in harmony with money to achieve a good quality of life and happiness. My work focuses on helping young people understand what they can achieve when they have good relationships with money—accessing healthcare, education, and opportunities that lead to fulfilling lives.

"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."

— Walt Disney

This quote captures everything I believe about financial health and life itself. Dreams don't require permission—they require courage. When we have the financial foundation to pursue our goals, combined with the bravery to take action, nothing is impossible. Financial independence isn't just about money; it's about having the freedom to chase what matters most.

Personal Philosophy

What does being financially healthy mean to you?

For me, being financially healthy means being in balance with money, physical well-being, and emotional control. I believe that being financially healthy is allowing oneself to be in harmony with financial opportunities, social basic needs, and managing various areas of life correctly. Studying economics and administration, I've learned that humans have unlimited needs but limited resources, and we need to be in harmony with money to achieve a good quality of life and happiness.

What motivates your work in financial health?

Living better and with quality motivates me to have a healthy financial life. Understanding what I can achieve when I have good relationships with money is my motivation! Mental health is also important, and money provides me with access to healthcare, education, and quality of life. I believe that all young people can have a good relationship with money, use resources efficiently to achieve their dreams and goals. All of this is my motivation.

Current Goal

Achieve financial independence so that I can fully dedicate myself to studies and projects. With financial independence, I aim to participate in exchange programs and study abroad. Achieving these goals is important to me because it will provide opportunities for learning, new experiences, and a promising career in the future.
