FINANCIAL RESULTS

• I’m afraid we have developed an entitlement mentality as a nation. Too many people, from the President and Senators on down, expect a pension from the government.

• Thoughts – Actions – Results

• The best way to solve the problem of bad financial results is change our thoughts – to start thinking like rich people rather than poor and middle class people

• Albert Einstein defines insanity as “Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

• In this case it is my opinion that is insanity to keep sending kids to school and not teaching them about money

Gap increasing between the rich and everyone else. vi. Wages decreasing. vii. Jobs being exported. viii. Social security and Medicare going bankrupt. ix. Savings being wiped out. x. lack of financial education being thought.
