The system is broken...The younger generation is not being educated on debt, budgeting, savings, investments, financial independence, or retirement so we get stuck in life living paycheck to paycheck, working for the rest of our lives to pay bills and never live life on our terms or to do the things we were put on this earth to do. We end up staying broke for the rest of our lives and never accumulate wealth or retire early because we simply didn’t know better or were taught better. Shame on the education system for leaving the younger generation clueless about money so we can end up like this. It’s a shame I went to business school, got my BBA in business/finance, and never learned about life insurance, stocks, real estate, trading, index funds, retirement accounts, iras, debt elimination, saving money, investing, or simply how to budget money. My husband and I learned all that on our own the last 4 years through trial and error. But my 4 year degree taught me nothing about how to be financially independent and retire early so I can live on my terms and give back. Not to buy a bigger house or a nicer car but simply to live my purpose and enjoy life with my family. Watching this documentary had me angry but happy that someone is bringing awareness to this crisis because it’s not fair we “the younger generation” continue to be uneducated and end up making poor choices in life leaving us unhappy, unfulfilled, and broke, never being able to break these cycles for our children. We deserve to do better for our kids, our families, and for ourselves. My husband and I have been on this FIRE journey for almost 4 years now and we not stopping until we get to where we want to be. This is the trailer of the documentary @playwithfireco It’s a must watch. Eye opener all the way. #fire #financialliteracy #financialindependance #retireearlyandlive #ourchildrenslegacy #playingwithfire #financialeducation https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Qx0NUpDapdyaDuoYROYt2r5KJ9jC3lLg_fR00/?igshid=f4j9lllr83zc
