Today’s topic will be simply why in the heck you would take precious time out of your busy life to learn from the 3MinuteMoney financial education video series.
The simple answer is that you live in a country that runs on money. Contrary to popular belief money doesn’t define you and we are way too many hang ups about it.
Money determines your freedom to do things.
If you have more money, you have more freedom. Freedom to enjoy life, freedom to help others, freedom to accomplish those personal goals in important to you.
If important to you, then you need help to do it well. We don’t get taught financial education in school, yet they are as critical to our success as any course we were ever taught.
3MinuteMoney is to help you get it right – to be the course.
I know what it’s like to not have money. I grew up in a small Minnesota town with six brothers and sisters and things were tough on the money side. It’s a lonely and depressed feeling and it impacts not only your freedom, but your self-esteem. Confronted day after day, it wears you down. I don’t want you to feel run down. I want you to feel that you’ve done everything to succeed financially and not have any regrets on money issues.
I have enough money, I don’t have to do this work. I can take care of my family. I’m very lucky that way. Finances and taxes are complicated, and the financial services industry just isn’t set up to be fair to everyone the way works today with a variety of substandard products and way too many conflicts of interest.
If you’re going to succeed financially you need to know the rules of the game, so you have level ground to compete on.
Financial knowledge and honest insight is what I wanted. As a hard-working person in America that’s what you deserve. My good mother taught me how to take care of others and if you wanna thank someone, thank her. I’m just trying to live up to her expectations that she had for me and the gratification that I have done so for a lot of people is enough for me.
Let me give you three sets of monstrously important numbers.
First, people who know the risk-reward trade-off know stocks and how to act on them end up with 200-300% more money. That’s doubling or more of money – and is what you deserve – but it needs wisdom to get there.
Second, couples who talk openly and regularly about money are more likely to have marriages that they rate as “great” (54%) as opposed to those who view their marriages as “OK” or in crisis (29%). Couples that are in healthy marriages are twice as likely to discuss their money dreams together.
You deserve to be successful, and you deserve a great relationship with your significant other. Those are key reasons as well as hopefully some motivation to you for why you should spend the time to be wiser about money.
Thanks for letting me help you the wise things with your money.
