Financial Literacy Children

Sound mood:   Everybody Loves The Sunshine Roy Ayers

Financial literacy is fairly imperative nowadays the one stream income road map seems obsolete. Many black households weren’t taught the importance of money, budgeting, allowance, and investing. We can blame it on systematic racism, redlining, and the wealth gap from generations prior.

In this bonus episode, I drop easy gems into getting into the conversation of teaching children how to budget, allowances, shared calendars, and debit cards. All the proven things I established when my son was growing up.

Official Music Mixes By DJ Wallah x Subject Thread Podcast

Sound mood:   Adore - Prince

It is said that Prince completed the song Adore in 1986 without the initial trumpets, he felt like it was a great song but knew it needed to be complete and that's the way we can establish love we can believe something is good and then sit back and reflect and make something better. Love is complicated or are we more complex or bringing more complex issues to a simple concept in the 21st Century? Messages we get from social media, online dating, stories we hear from peers, and more often leave us wondering if we are doing this love thing right and is there a set standard to obtain it. Back in the 90's Mary J. Blige was singing Real love and in 2021 that song has us asking, really, is it or is it something that is make-believe like an enchanting love story, or is it something that is truly obtainable?
