      I think for many of us we’re not ready to hear this wisdom at 18 because we weren’t primed for it. My most responsible friends who has healthy relationships with their money were raised with financial literacy at a young age. The rest of us didn’t have money conversations until we started working. By then it’s too late. I’m definitely going to make sure my children have exposure to practical life skills and knowledge from a young age. Taught in age appropriate ways and build them up until adulthood.

      @@SL-lz9jr That’s exactly it. If you don’t have proper guidance around then you end up reliving the same patterns. Granted, it’s important for young people to make their mistakes and learn for themselves. At 18, I was really hard headed so I doubt I would’ve even listened. Adults have to gently guide their kids to safe directions. I’m not 30 yet but her story definitely opened my eyes. I’ve been investing and working on my finances since watching. My parents couldn’t teach me that a former Disney star could end up broke, but CZcams did lol. Sometimes we just have to find the right methods to break the cycles.

      What you said about mama Mowrey reminds me, kinda, of Jason Weaver's mom (I think that's his name.) He's most widely known for being young Simba's singing voice in the animated Lion King movie. Disney offered him a deal that most of us would say "Yes" to without a thought. His mom thought it over and said no. Instead, she said to pay him through royalties (or something to that extent) resulting in him being paid less at the time, but being set for life with money coming in throughout it for that singing gig he did when he was just a young boy. The clip of him talking about this is somewhere here on YT. Same with one on how he almost ended up getting JTT's voice acting gig for the Lion King, but the contracts had already been signed.

      Same here,, I really wish more stars would do this… I sit back and think about how we’ve seen so many fallen by the wayside rather it be to suicide or drugs, alcohol, mental illness, or being taken advantage of in one form or another. These people literally grew with us and we grow up thinking they are living the life, It’s empathically crushing to know so many stars who shaped us in our youth weren’t being shaped guided and looked after. The pieces start to fall in place more to show the answer to the puzzle of why so many go down dark paths and don’t even come out of it… it’s saddening.. truly saddening…

      Are you noticing she's actually speaking about her self-esteem in relation to the money? It's not about teaching children how to obsess over money from an early age... it's about teaching them to have self respect and realizing money really isn't going to fill any "holes" and it's not going to make them think they're "good enough."
      Teaching kids to think constantly about money from the moment they're capable of critically thinking is absolutely a recipe for a money-obsessed, stressed-out, and unempathetic adulthood.

    • @peacechickification

      @@someinternetweirdo6953 i'm going to have to strongly agree to disagree with you here. financial literacy is taught to make sure that people don't have such an emotional attachment to money because they'd be able to properly handle what they have, and not have to hoard money or treat it like it's burning a hole in their pocket, and what exactly it can do for you that you don't see right in front of you.

      We do learn it in high school, its required in order to graduate but it seems like a very boring class so most take it online and cheat on the tests and quizzes, and most who take it in person mess around in class. I regret not taking it seriously when I took it in high school (2018), I took it online cuz it felt useless and didn't count towards my GPA, but now I'm learning how to do it in math class. Growing up at school when we would talk about it they always told us to never spend more that what we have or don't live above our means.

      OK.
      It's like this.
      There are people who want to dominate you - for various reasons. These people will try to undermine your confidence in yourself. They want to make you dependent on THEM so they can take advantage of you.
      There are men - who use this method to dominate women - so the women will have sex with them.
      Here - you have the "We accept the level of love we thing we deserve" syndrome.
      There's a tendency among women to think that they are not worthy of love - and the worst thing you can do as a guy in love with one of these women - is to compliment her on how she is impressive. These women - if they really are really attractive - have people telling them that all the time and they will lose respect for you if you do that. So - what should you do? There isn't anything you can do - except just treat them as human beings (or if your a jerk put them down so you can dominate them). The first - will not get you their pants - while the second might. Here - you need to decide what you value more - the type of human being who is actually a good person (known as a loser to the winners) or a jerk who gets laid more often.
      Now - IF - you are a really handsome guy - that's different. You don't have to do anything to get girls like this - they are falling all over you. So - it's better to be really handsome - and smart - and rich - and healthy - and ...
