Check out Urban Institute's recent summary of all the "Early Life Wealth Building Across the US" - the amounts at the age of graduation (18 for most) for the various Baby Bond and CSA programs across the country range from $145 to $21,000. How can we get more clear and nuanced in the difference between these varying product designs? How can we clean up our language to not call them ALL "wealth-building" accounts? When I think we would all agree that $145 is not wealth. For many that's a dinner out for two on a Friday night. Check out page 3 of this report: https://lnkd.in/etHDbsNs

Juneteenth 2024 vs 1865 Yesterday was bittersweet. As I attended three events, and had several Seniors wish me a Happy Juneteenth, I began to reflect on recent events. 1. Challenges to The Fearless Fund. 2. The Oklahoma Supreme Court dismissed the lawsuit brought by survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre. 3. The passing of Rev. James Lawson Always one to surround myself with thoughtful people to engage in meaningful conversations, my theme for the day became "Intentional". The gains of the past were only possible because large groups of people of all backgrounds were "Intentional" about fairness and full participation in society by all. Some individuals are now intentional on reversing the gains. A newly released book; "15 Cents on the Dollar: How Americans Made the Black-White Wealth Gap", describes reverses and gains. The book chronicles how these staggering injustices came to be, shows how and why so little progress on the wealth gap has been made, and provides insights Americans should consider if they want lasting change. Let's all be INTENTIONAL about moving forward!
