The Great Wait, the Great Resignation... #Burnout lifestyle is effecting Boomers, Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z. Add financial stress, insecurity and a near endless post pandemic lifestyle; people are calling it all quits. #TFG is calling it "The Millennial Worklife Crisis." Many are "lying flat" while others are deciding that coasting while FIRE is enough. Just remember even on your best day, you can miss the mark or your goals; those who succeed are those who innovate and endure. In today's episode, Lovely Merdelus lead us into reflecting about when things aren't going Instagram right and how we can all cope during times of challenges. Along with the co-hosts, Alainta Alcin and Lawrence Delva-Gonzalez; the Financial Griot aka #TFG is deciding not to lie flat. Our ongoing goal is to get you active and flourishing even when things aren't going just right. As Americans contend with their peers striking it rich investing or reaching social media fame, the peer pressure is all to real. The best advice is to disconnect from social media and reconnect with your own purpose.
#TheFinancialGriot is a play on two words (Finance + Griot) that hold significance in closing the racial wealth gap.
Merriam-Webster defines a Griot as a West African historian, storyteller, praise singer, poet, or musician. The griot is a repository of oral tradition and is often seen as a leader due to their position as an advisor to royal personages. As a result of the former of these two functions, they are sometimes called a bard.
As such, we tell the stories that others don't. Stories that we should share for growth, opportunity and understanding. Beyond that we talk about Finances. Specifically, how to become Financially literate, incorporating actionable steps and ultimately building generational wealth.
So there you have it, The Financial Griot or TFG for short. You will be in for a treat. The hosts were able to amass over $2 Million in wealth in about 8 years and are on track to retire early. If you want the secrets; we will gladly share them since opportunity is abundant and Win-Win.
