Education IS STILL the equalizer. Show us a society that gives their best and brightess a screw driver, drill, or CDL's? While trades are needed and Workforce Development initiatives are absolutely necessary be mindful of the messaging we're sending in our communities.

Delivering a "Understanding Your Credit Report" Workshop today at Clayton State University was amazing. The impact led to one on one conversations about correcting errors on reports caused by parents, how to close cosmetic loans for unnecessary beauty enhancement work, and the understanding of asset building.

The types of financial mistakes made by 18-24 yr. olds are quite different these days, however the reasons for those mistakes will never change.....lack of knowledge, they simply didn't know.

Deliberately impacted lives for decades to come!

"When I launched this non-profit organization eight years ago, my original intent was to inspire and motivate those behind me. While our core focus is rendering guidance in higher education paths, financial planning, and business etiquette, this year I was reminded of the importance of continuing to motivate youth that are directly connected to me."

The time has finally come, I had the privilege of rendering our annual Scholarship rewards to both of my nephews, Justin and Omari Freeman.

We were able to partner in hosting a group of 140+ HS Students from Ohio last night here in Metro Atlanta. The questions and engagement well into the night were absolutely mindblowing and inspiring!

If we continue to nurture and plant seeds, we will never have to worry about our future harvest....it surely looks bright.

Mid-Day Vitamin: What Do I Control?

In a perfect America, legislation would be passed to place a cap on the maximum tuition cost that a University charges for Undergraduate studies. Also, could it be possible that institutions of higher learning, that receive Federal Financial Aid funding on behalf of their students, be mandated to lower their tuition cost or at minimum place a standard rate increase cap on annual tuition compared to prior year?

There are so many viable solutions that can be derived many different ways. However, until then, here are two things Parents can control:

#1 - Compare your child's University of choice to other alternatives. Public or Private? In-State versus Out-of-State? Plain and simple, if the cost is too high, then choose your second best option.

#2 - There are 18 years between birth and your child's life launch. Again, 18 years. You have a retirement plan for yourself right, but what about your child's life launch plan? How much did you save annually towards their education or adult transition? When did you start saving? Are you saving anything at all for their future? When will you start saving?

Time is your most valuable asset, not the amount you're putting aside. They are depending on you to control the controllables!
