I’m Jorge, a former Google executive turned money expert and creator of ShapeYourFinances. After achieving financial independence, I made the leap to leave my six-figure job so I could live life on my own terms. Now, I’m on a mission to help others do the same—guiding you to take charge of your finances and build the future you’ve always dreamed of. Welcome to ShapeYourFinances!

A lot of people know that managing their finances is important, yet they still hesitate to take that first step. Even those who dream of financial independence and an early retirement can struggle to get started, no matter how much they’re earning. It’s not uncommon to feel overwhelmed by the sea of information out there, or to believe the myth that financial know-how is only for the wealthy. Sometimes, it’s just fear of the unknown or even feeling ashamed of your current financial situation that holds you back. These obstacles can trap you in a cycle of inaction, keeping you from making real progress toward your financial goals.
But here’s the thing: understanding and tackling these barriers is the first step toward building a brighter financial future. Once you address what’s holding you back, taking control of your finances becomes a lot more achievable.
