I’m Miguel, the visionary behind Legacy Life.
 

I come from humble beginnings. My parents are first-generation immigrants, and growing up, survival was at the forefront of our experience. They did everything in their power to support us, and while they were financially competent, they initially lacked the means to make their money work for them.
 

The first lessons we learn about finances often come from our household and lived experiences. Whether we realize it or not, we adopt certain mentalities that shape our beliefs about money and these can either empower us or hold us back. For me, even though my parents taught me to be smart with money, I subconsciously internalized the belief that if they couldn’t build wealth, neither could I. This created mental blocks that I didn’t even recognize at the time.
 

This mindset is something we all face in different forms. It shows up in the foods we eat, the way we speak, and the way we form opinions about everything including money. The goal here is to break free from these limitations and start building a legacy one that can be passed on to future generations. But in order to do that, we need awareness. Shifting my mindset helped me break through those financial barriers.
 

My journey in financial literacy began with real estate, but over time it evolved into a broader understanding of wealth building. At first, my knowledge was limited, but I took the leap and trusted that I would figure it out. Along the way, I learned valuable lessons and became more curious about other financial strategies and investments. The key takeaway is this: unless we actively seek out this information, we’re not going to find it in mainstream education.
 

That's where Legacy Life comes in. I am deeply passionate about empowering others with the financial knowledge they need to secure their futures. Life insurance is a crucial part of this strategy, yet so many people overlook it or avoid thinking about it until it’s too late. Understanding insurance is not just about protecting assets it's about creating a lasting legacy for your loved ones and building generational wealth. Unfortunately, too many of us aren't taught these essential concepts, which is why it’s vital to make this knowledge accessible to everyone, especially young adults who are just beginning their financial journeys.
