  Xavier Serbia speaks on financial independence

  Xavier Serbia will be a guest on PRSUN Radio soon, promoting his new book
  in advance of his appearance at a Bronx bookstore. The talk show is planned for 9-9:15 p.m. later this month. Show date TBA.
  
  Here's a press release:
  
  PRNewswire -HISPANIC WIRE -- "La riqueza en cuatro pisos" is a survival
  manual. Having sufficient
  wealth in the future, and achieving financial independence are two of the
  primary goals for Hispanics; this book is the first step. In these hard times
  when millions of people are not saving, are living paycheck to paycheck, do
  not have control of their finances, are stressed due to debts or end up having
  to forgo what they own, it is essential to start building a solid base and
  find financial peace.
  In a direct and sincere tone, Xavier Serbia uses his financial expertise,
  his financial obstacles after being a Menudo member in the 80's, and the
  stories of those who have come to him for aid. Here, he walks us step by step
  along the path to financial independence. He teaches us to first concentrate
  on what is necessary (step 1); protect what we have, prepare for the
  unexpected and obtain security (step 2); then cautiously plan investments,
  enterprises and a retirement plan (step 3), in order to reach the yearned for
  independence (step 4).
  Xavier Serbia is one of the most recognized financial experts in U.S.-
  Hispanic media today. He has developed a solid expert image from which
  thousands of Hispanics benefit through his weekly segment on Telemundo and
  "Conexión Thalía's" national radio show. Xavier has also been a guest on "Al
  rojo vivo," Univision's "Cristina," "Despierta América," "Don Francisco
  Presenta" and "Sábado Gigante". Serbia takes advantage of every opportunity
  via the Internet, print, radio or TV to share his mission: to bring personal
  finances to a level that regular people can understand. Serbia has a Master's
  Degree in Financial Economics (Trinity College), and an MBA with a
  concentration in Finance (Keller Graduate School).
