Nathalie Ríos

Passionate advocate nurturing curiosity, education, and environmental sustainability

Passionate and driven, I embody a commitment to making a difference by nurturing curiosity, promoting education, and advocating for environmental sustainability. Through my actions and initiatives, I strive to inspire and empower others to create positive change in their communities and beyond. I believe that financial health extends beyond monetary stability—it embodies a sustainable approach to managing resources that ensures long-term well-being and resilience for both people and the planet.

"If you don't like where you are, move, you're not a tree."

— Unknown

This quote reminds me that we always have agency—the power to change our circumstances. Whether it's our financial situation, our environmental impact, or our personal growth, we're not rooted in place. We can choose to move, to evolve, to build something better. Financial health gives us that mobility and freedom.

Personal Philosophy

What does being financially healthy mean to you?

Financial health, to me, extends beyond mere monetary stability; it embodies a sustainable approach to managing resources that ensures long-term well-being and resilience. It involves not only maintaining a balanced budget and saving for the future but also making environmentally conscious financial decisions that promote sustainability and contribute positively to both personal and planetary prosperity.

What motivates your work in financial health?

What motivates me to pursue financial health is the recognition of the interconnectedness between economic stability, environmental well-being, and personal fulfillment. By achieving a balance between financial security and sustainability, I strive to meet my needs while minimizing negative impacts on the environment. This holistic approach drives me to make informed financial decisions that not only benefit me in the present but also contribute to a more sustainable and equitable future for generations to come.

Current Goal

Establish a solid emergency fund that can cover at least six months of basic expenses. Achieving this requires securing a job, making it a dual goal for me. This will provide financial security in case of unforeseen events such as job loss or medical emergencies, enabling me to maintain stability and make more informed decisions about my financial future.
