The Rich Hermana: A First-Gen Guide to Money, Mindset, and Wealth (No Matter Where You Started)

Build Wealth. Break Barriers. The Rich Hermana: A First-Gen Guide to Money, Mindset, and Wealth is a blueprint for first-generation children of immigrants ready to rewrite their money story. With cultural pride and practical tools, Ixamar Palumbo shows you how to master your finances, honor your family’s sacrifices, and create the wealth you deserve.

Ixamar Palumbo, the proud daughter of Venezuelan immigrants and the first in her family born in the United States, grew up learning about money at the kitchen table while helping her mamá navigate an unfamiliar financial system. Those lessons sparked a lifelong mission: to give other first-gens the confidence, clarity, and tools to build prosperity on their own terms.

Blending powerful storytelling with step-by-step guidance, The Rich Hermana equips readers to:

Master the financial systems that once felt intimidating or out of reach

Build wealth and stability, no matter where you’re starting or your legal status

Heal money guilt, cultural pressures, and the weight of being “the first”

Redefine success by honoring family sacrifices while creating generational wealth

Packed with heart, humor, and unapologetic honesty, this book proves you don’t need to inherit money to build it. You just need the right guide, and the courage to claim the life your family envisioned when they came to the United States.

If you’ve ever wanted a big sister to walk you through money, mindset, and success without the jargon or shame…welcome. You’re home.
