After connecting with her in a slack group, I knew Sofie had a story that needed to be shared widely! A first-gen Latina, Sofia Bastida had very supportive parents who wanted to her to pursue what they had not - graduate college and get her degree. This was a dream they wanted her to fulfill at any cost and it put them over $100,000 in debt from student loans.
Sofie talks about her upbringing in California and how moving to NYC changed her views about m money and gave her a sense of independence. But the hardest thing she's done and the thing she's most proud of was taking ownership of the debt she put her mother in for her college education. Listen to Sofie talk about it all and sum up the tips she thinks anyone with debt should have in their back pocket!
