How Black families can achieve financial freedom

FTA Members in the News: FTA member Rahkim Sabree, AFC® was featured in Business Insider discussing the importance of addressing systemic issues in closing the wealth gap. "'Gone are the days that we can hide behind the illusion that more financial literacy is enough,' says Rahkim Sabree, AFC, financial therapist and counselor." Thanks for your dedication to this important topic, Rahkim! https://ow.ly/HknO50QV5nV #WealthGap #FinancialLiteracy #SystemicInequality

"I teach people how to build systems to manage their money. The systems are always personalized, but the common themes are that we try to work with our money psychology rather than against it, and we try to automate as much of our systems as possible such that we know we’re doing everything right to live for today and the future." Cool to see this article this morning highlighting On Tap Credit Union's Financial Education Program that I run, and about my story of finding On Tap - a local, community-oriented #creditunion that wants to give back to members with REAL financial help - teaching to fish rather than giving a fish! https://lnkd.in/gAmKvC-e #financialeducation #cudifference #moneymanagement

📣 Exciting News 🎉 Today, students had a taste of real-world financial decisions during the Bite of Reality program. 🍽️💰 🔍 What’s the Bite of Reality? It’s an interactive simulation that puts teens in the driver’s seat of their finances. Here’s how it works: Fictional Lives: Each student steps into a fictional life with an occupation, salary, credit score, spouse, child, student loan debt, and credit card debt. Budget Challenges: They visit various stations to “purchase” housing, transportation, food, clothing, and other necessities. 🏠🚗🛒 Credit Union Assistance: Fortunately, there’s a “credit union” to help them navigate financial needs. 💡 Real-Life Scenarios: Students deal with pushy car salespeople, commission-based realtors, and unexpected expenses—just like in real life! 💸 🌟 Why Is It Important? The Bite of Reality teaches teens how to make informed financial choices, balance wants vs. needs, and live within a budget. It’s a fun, safe, and eye-opening experience! 👀 🙌 Thank You to Our Volunteers! A big shoutout to the volunteers who made this event possible. Your dedication helps shape our students’ financial futures. 🙏 #FinancialLiteracy #BiteOfReality #McLainHighSchool #SmartMoneyChoices Jeffco Public Schools - Colorado GoWest Credit Union Association

Did you know that most major financial habits are set by age 7? That means you have to start teaching kids financial literacy early on. Here are some key financial lessons that can teach the value of a dollar and put your family on the right path! https://lnkd.in/dAXp9pJa

The earlier children begin their financial education journey, the more responsible they often tend to be. Many young kids find success with smaller goals. ALINE Wealth's Gina Grippo-Martinez gives great advice: "...focus on a smaller, immediate goal like a toy, and build up to larger goals over time, such as saving for summer camp or college... Younger children can understand saving for shorter time periods — such as 'by the end of the week' – and gradually, they understand longer timeframes like months and years." #ALINEWealth #FinancialPlanning #FinancialEducation

For any #highschool or #collegestudent looking to learn more personal finance, take a look at Money Vehicle - Financial Education, the best financial literacy curriculum I have seen that actually takes students' interests and needs into account!
