In case you don\u2019t already know the answer, here it is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Financially Fit Foundation was started in 2012 by Olivia Galicia. She\u2019s got quite the rags-to-riches story. She was born to parents who never went to school and in a dirt-floor home with a cardboard roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She came to the U.S. from Mexico when she was twelve and didn\u2019t know a word of English. An eager student, with a love for numbers, she excelled in math. (Fun fact: she has a seriously strange love of algebra.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olivia graduated from Cal State LA with a B.S. in Business Administration &amp; Accounting and a minor in Economics.&nbsp; She passed the Certified Public Accountant\u2019s exam in 1994.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While she wouldn\u2019t feel comfortable sharing the extent of her financial achievement, let\u2019s just say that it\u2019s remarkable. She lives a dance-filled, jet-setting lifestyle. More impressively, it has been stable and steadily growing even in times of economic downturn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything the Financially Fit Foundation teaches is based on knowledge she acquired in college, by managing her own finances (which includes our homes, her buildings, and a law firm), reading financial books, talking to experts, ongoing classes and what she learned from observing an amazing and incredible woman, her mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She has broken the cycle of poverty, made a lot of money, raised children and has all the permission in the world to just chill out because she has \u201cmade it.\u201d But she has taught me that you haven\u2019t really made it if you stop at your own happiness. Contribution is the real measure of a rich and fulfilled life. Teaching people how to organize their finances, showing them how to stop living paycheck-to paycheck, and guiding them to solid financial footing is her dream&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Financially Fit Foundation is a non-profit organization. That means we don&#8217;t sell anything\u2014no insurance, no investments.&nbsp;We do have a book, but it is not a requirement to take our workshops. Check out our website at <a href=\"http:\/\/financiallyfit\">financiallyfitfoundation.org<\/a> for more info about us and our workshops, which are coming up next month so to sign up to receive information on them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who the heck are we at the Financially Fit Foundation to tell you what to do, especially when it comes to something as personal as your hard earned dinero?!
