Show Notes

Jane Mepham, CFP®, breaks down why some immigrants still feel financially insecure even with $1 million in the bank and how mindset, not money, is often the real barrier. She explains why money should be treated as a tool rather than the goal, and how culturally aware financial planning can empower immigrants to build stability and long-term wealth.

Jane is the founder of Elgon Financial Advisors where she helps immigrants and foreign nationals build wealth while navigating the complexities of U.S. financial systems.
