You come from resiliency. You come from make a way out of no way.
There has always been down cycles in our economy/society and yet, we have always made progress. Even when that progress was 2 steps forward, 1 step back.
Once, I watched my mother in-law feed her grandkids with a bag of Doritos, some tomatoes, and a few cans of chili when the grandkids were complaining that they were hungry. It was a 5 loaves and 2 fishes kind of bountiful meal.
And my mother in-law did it in a few minutes by just observing what she had to work with, then made it happen.
It’s time we take that same innovation and can-do spirit with our financial freedom.
The traditional style of teaching financial literacy is not serving us. The traditional style of teaching finance has only widened the wealth gap.
There is nothing wrong with you. You’ve just been laboring under incorrect financial education. The current mode of teaching is not serving you, so do something different to get a different result. Either take the risk or work for someone who did.
Every adversity carries with it, the seed of an equivalent advantage.
-Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich
Know this, Walt Disney started during The Great Depression.
We spend 12 – 20 years in school learning about every subject, except for money. Then we spend the rest of our lives trying to figure out how to make money or how to grow the money we have.
My approach to financial literacy is to teach it in a way that makes the complexities of finance so simple that your investing actions become instinctive.
To the youth, young adults, and the mothers who raise them,
