Hello everyone!
I am so excited to get started on this blog, share my daily thoughts and present you with several different tips and ideas about finances.
I invite you to share this blog with your friends, children, grandparents; basically everyone who has ever earned a dollar.
I named this project “Financially Fit 4 the Future” because just like our physical fitness, financial fitness takes hard work, dedication, control, and exercise everyday! Financial fitness is a process and your problems won’t be fixed over night, but with time and achieving the small daily goals you set for yourself: THIS IS POSSBILE!
A little bit more about me:
I am currently a RN in an intensive care unit and I love my job! Now, I know that healthcare and finances don’t seem to go together, but in all honesty they are so closely intertwined. I see the affect of finances in my career everyday. From budget cuts to the tears patients cry because they are worried about paying for their care. I am motivated to do this because I don’t want American’s dreams, hopes, or lives to be crippled any longer by something we can prevent. We can control our financial fitness and find financial freedom. I am not a mother, but I am the oldest of five children and when I look at my younger siblings I want their lives to be more than they can dream and I want the same for you!
The average student who graduates from high school lacks basic skills in personal financial management. They are unable to balance a checkbook and have no insight into the basic survival principles involved with earning, spending, saving and investing. The average debt after college graduation has increased 50% in the last decade. It is critical for the youth of America to comprehend the importance of financial choices while they are young and start preparing for opportunities that will present themselves in the future. For the past 4 years, I have been actively educating youth and their parents about financial choices to create a generation that is “Financially Fit 4 the Future.”
Please share your comments, questions, or concerns. I would love to hear from you. Check frequently for updates and together we will improve our financial fitness!
Sincerely,
Brooke
