Family stays within the family.”Jason Henry for The New York Times A Number of Issues Contribute to Hispanic Women’s Lack of Collective Wealth By Tammy La Gorce Before Lupita Uribe married in 2020, she told her husband-to-be that a wedding wasn’t in her future unless he was OK with two promises she had made herself. One: She intended to keep living in San Francisco, where she had grown up and where she works in internal communications for the software developer Twilio. Two: Her mother would eventually move in with her. “I always say I’m my parents’ retirement plan,” said Ms. Uribe, 29. As a Latina, she said, she knows that caring for aging family members is a part of her culture and nonnegotiable. But making it happen financially, something she is working on, can come with challenges.

Eventually, she wants a home large enough for her children and her mother.Jason Henry for The New York Times Ms. Uribe’s parents emigrated from the state of Jalisco, in western Mexico, when she was 6. They divorced the year they arrived in California. Both had gone to college before immigrating, but their degrees didn’t transfer, Ms. Uribe said, and they ended up having to take jobs in the service sector. Ms. Uribe’s mother worked as a private housekeeper, while her father logged years working for AAA and now owns and operates his own roadside assistance service in Sacramento. While they stayed clear of debt, neither has been able to accumulate much for retirement.

Her mother, for example, “has no idea how a 401(k) or a Roth I.R.A. works, because she’s never had the opportunity to learn about it,” Ms. Uribe said. Ms. Uribe said she didn’t know much about investing until she started working at Twilio. “When I got a higher-paying job, I had the bandwidth to actually think about my future instead of my immediate needs,” she said. “I felt like I needed to be intelligent about building future wealth.” That line of thought led her last year to Valerie Rivera, a certified financial planner and the founder of [FirstGen Wealth](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlbb90P0SwaHR0cHM6Ly8xZ2Vud2VhbHRoLmNvbS8_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzcmZW1jPWVkaXRfcnJfMjAyMjEyMDMmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NzkxOTMmbmw9cmFjZSUyRnJlbGF0ZWQmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTExNDkzNyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKY4F0OotjP4gcXlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) in Chicago. Ms. Rivera knew right away that she wanted to work with Ms. Uribe. “My clients are often the first in their families to be born in this country,” she said. “They might be the first to go to college or the first to make more money than their parents.” Dr. Torres-Gil said he was noticing a trend in his own work. “We’re seeing an increase in the proportion of Hispanics going on to higher education,” he said. “The majority happen to be female. And it doesn’t matter whether they’re first generation or second generation. They’re recognizing that they have to depend on themselves first, and they’re far more likely than previous cohorts to invest or have access to 401(k)s.” [Continue reading the main story](#a11y-skip-universal-2) ADVERTISEMENT ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlbb90P0RtaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9NzI4Njk5JmxpPVJSJm09YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcD1SUl8yMDIyMTIwM1cDbnl0QgpjgXQ6i2M_iBxeUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~ Most of Ms. Rivera’s clients are in their 30s and 40s and have college degrees. Some send money regularly to relatives in their family’s country of origin. Many are like Ms. Uribe, who is negotiating how to start a family and set aside money for her own retirement while also caring for her parents later on. Ms. Uribe’s goal, she said, is to buy a house big enough to raise children with their grandmother by her side, a desire Ms. Rivera hears a lot. For Latinas, “our retirement isn’t just our retirement,” she said. “Culturally speaking, for the most part we don’t send our family members to retirement homes.
