How Lawrence Amassed a Six Figure Net Worth and Doubled His Income to Six Figures (while still in debt)

Lawrence had a choice to make: should he continue falling deeper into debt or get serious and make a plan? With 6 figures of debt, Lawrence decided it was time to make a decision: to be in control of his finances. ⁣

Focusing on building assets and investing, even while he was in debt, allowed Lawrence to own a home, and a rental property, and start a small business, which would have been impossible if he focused on paying off his debt first. Now he is on the journey to achieving his goals of reaching a million-dollar net worth in 5 years and retiring in 15 years.⁣

Find out how Lawrence went from 6 figures in debt to having a 6 figure net worth and the strategies he took to increase his income from $32k to $109k a year by listening to this week’s episode of the podcast.⁣

A millennial couple increased their net worth from zero to $500,000 in 4 years by making 5 strategic money decisions | Written by Anne-Lyse Wealth

Doreen and Lawrence Delva-Gonzalez had a zero-dollar net worth in 2017.

Now, it’s $500,000.

They started by changing their mindset about money and using apps to track their cash flow. Then they invested as much as possible, bought a rental property, and increased their income. “People should work on their soft skills because that’s going to position them to interview better, so they can make more money,” Lawrence said.

On today’s episode of The His & Her Money Show, we talk with Lawrence Gonzalez about building a comprehensive wealth that builds a new family legacy. In the pursuit of a good career, Lawrence’s net worth was a negative six figures.

With hard work and a plan that started with an embarrassing credit card moment in the store, Lawrence is pulling himself out of debt and has a positive, 6-figure net worth.

On top of that, Lawrence is using the lessons and experiences from his childhood to maximize every cent of his money through a variety of tools including Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), 401Ks, rental income, house hacking, and more.

Knowing what the American Dream means to other people is one thing. But if there’s anything we’ve learned recently, it’s that America doesn’t work for everyone the way many of us assumed it did. America is not the same for all Americans.  

Right now, we as a country need to listen and learn from each other. So, that’s what we’d like to do here, by giving a voice to some of your fellow Americans about what the American Dream today means for them. 

“The ability to break down racial inequality and narrow the wealth gap in 15 years. To start a new generational wealth cycle that reaches back and helps others.”

How to rebalance your budget — and your life — during quarantine

The pandemic could be here for a while. Plan your finances, and budget your time, accordingly.

Budget time for healthy habits

Balancing work and parenting is hard enough under normal circumstances. It’s even harder under the stress of a nationwide pandemic — and harder still if you’re not making the time to take care of your physical and mental health.

Lawrence Gonzalez, government auditor and founder of The Neighborhood Finance Guy, advises busy parents to spend the last weeks of summer shifting to healthier habits.

“Start doing simple challenges like drinking only water in August. Move to get to sleep no later than 10 p.m. for a week or two. Start waking up early to walk, jog or run.” Even a few minutes of light yoga or stretching in the morning can make a big difference.

How to Start Saving and Investing | Geoff Williams

“Personal finance is personal. Although that sounds tedious and mundane, the truth still carries legal tender even in 2021. Investing comes down to risk profile and risk capacity. When we mention beginners, there needs to be a full review of the person.

How old are they?

Do they have consumer debts?

Do they have high credit card balances?

There is a myriad of diagnostic questions that need to be vetted. However, if they have structured their monthly budget, and made use of employer-sponsored programs like 401k, 403b, and/or 457b, maybe it’s time to invest in a Traditional/Roth IRA.”
