a network of progressive, first-generation breadwinners who are turning dollars into change
Let’s break it down.
-
First-gen folks can be any age, any immigration status, any background. For us, first-gen means you are the first in your family to get to this level of financial stability. You’re hitting milestones that your parents, grandparents, caretakers, and ancestors didn’t reach.
Retirement contributions? Check. Debt plan? Handled. Emergency fund? Sitting pretty. You’ve got your head above water and $10k+ in investable income.
But now you’re asking, “What’s next?” Not just financially, but mentally and emotionally.
You’re here to rewrite what wealth means, not just for you but for everyone in your orbit now and in the future.
-
You’re not just an unpaid financial advisor for the fam—you’re the unofficial family therapist, fixer, creator of fun, investigator of lost paperwork, and the emergency go-to person. There may be multiple breadwinners in your family. If you’re someone who holds it all together, who helps everyone find their way out of messy situations, we’re talking to you.
Babysitting friends’ human babies and business babies? Check. Planning family vacations? Yup. Figuring out how to break cycles of trauma and build something new? Absolutely.
While you’re proud of how far you’ve come and grateful for what you can do, you’re also feeling the stretch. Stability still feels fragile because mistakes are expensive, and you’re trying to make it all work.
-
You’re actively curious and working to reimagine capitalist systems that keep people down. You’re not interested in hoarding wealth strictly for personal gain. While we may express progressiveness differently, we’re all here to build something that’s bigger than just bank accounts.
You know change-making can and should be sustainable and feel good, even fun. You’re done with grind culture—you want a life full of possibility, comfort, and impact for yourself, your loved ones, and your community.
If you’ve been nodding along with this, then our network is for you.
welcome to your
gentle ambition era

How we show up for ourselves and one another
We’re all connected by our first-gen, progressive experiences, but to be extra real for a moment—our paths and upcoming journeys are also vast and varied.
The New Dimes team and Network members commit to holding these principles together. Our principles are here to help us show up for ourselves and for each other with respect, openness, and a whole lotta heart.
-
We share the desire to pursue wealth, not for flexing, but for intentional investment in pleasurable and sustainable ways to engage in change making.
-
We encourage one another’s individual, personal journey in evolving past hustle culture. We celebrate ambition on your terms and a pace you can savor.
-
We hold space and grace for messy moves because this stuff is incredibly complex, personal, and tender. Here, it’s safe to unravel and laugh along the way. We know that growth comes with twists, turns, and unexpected moments, and we’re here to make it meaningful and fun.
-
Everyone unpacks, holds, and carries their own bags but we do it together. We commit to being continuous learners all the things including our own shadow-sides. And our learning is rooted in taking action.
-
We commit to caring about one another’s well being and success, especially through times of missteps. We compassionately call out tension, and engage in constructive dialogue and support, not judgment and exclusion. We transparently resolve conflict, practicing healing as we go.
