I've only been....Never Mind.....*sigh,* as I reach for my popcorn with further confirmation that I hope that I'm wrong because I hate when I'm right about certain things.

Repeat after me....A bank is not a savings institution. Its primary purpose is as a lender.

Three years ago as I was promoting this incredible manual for financial success when I had a hater approach me in my DM's and tell me that the title of this book was insulting and he wasn't going to allow any of my information in his so called Financial Literacy Group......(Yes I kept the receipt)!

Today, this book has been on close to 300 National News Media Outlets across the country and is rapidly approaching 1 Million Books in circulation. Here is a sample of the good this book is doing and the people that are driving that message home:

P.S. - If you're trying to figure out why your city isn't doing more to promote financial literacy, I want to help you get that answer. Let's talk.

Employees will have access to free monthly financial literacy classes for up to twelve months. The company WealthWave Educators will provide free work booklets too.

I finally feel like I'm getting back to where things were pre-pandemic. That being said, If you wish to be plugged into more of what I'm doing from a financial literacy perspective like workshops, newsletters and in person meetings, please drop me an instant message with your email address and I'll add you to the new and improved 2023 Financial Literacy Campaign.

Remember......If you bring the same "you" into 2023 nothing will change!

Day 21 of Life Insurance Awareness Month. Here is a very basic depiction of how to determine what's the best direction to go in with your insurance planning. It's called the financial X-Curve. Apply it to where you are now and then let's determine if you have enough coverage. If you don't, let's fix it!
