Creating Generational Wealth through Financial Education   Anthony ONeal is a bestselling author, speaker and financial expert who is passionate about helping people make better decisions in regards to their money and higher education in order to live a healthy and prosperous life.    Anthony is also passionate about fitness, a hobby that he owes a lot of his mental strength to. Fitness has taught him the power of his mind in creating and establishing new habits. Once it’s done in the mind, the body can automatically do what’s required.    Making bad choices.  Growing up, Anthony only had two major conversations with his parents. How to respect the law of the land, and the religious law. His parents never gave him any serious talks or lectures about how to handle his finances.  Inevitably, Anthony dived right into taking personal and student loan debts to finance a life that he couldn’t afford or need. And this would eventually cost him his college experience.  His father told him that as a man, he had to live with the consequences of his choices, and wasn’t allowed to go back home.  This would be the start to a 6 month adversity experience where Anthony slept in the back of his car and on the floor of his friends’ houses.  Things changed when he decided to give his future some serious thought. He realised that the calibre of his future would be determined by the choices he was going to make in the present moment. He stopped pointing fingers at the people that he blamed for his misfortunes and decided to take action.  Anthony made a decision to change his life completely, and travel around the world to teach young people how to avoid similar financial mistakes to his.    Student crisis.  $100,000 - $200,000 is the average of student loans that a lot of young adults graduate with in America.  A lot of these students believe they can pay off the debt within 3 years after graduation, but studies show that 65% of them are still paying the debts off 12 years later.  It’s for this reason that Anthony advocates for being wise when you pick the path to higher education. What matters isn’t where you study, but the kind of person that you are after graduating. Community colleges, Military schools and Trade schools aren’t as fancied as top colleges like Havard, but they’re still a very great way to educate yourself.  Life education has different sources, ranging from online courses, working experience, and free scholarships. What’s of importance when deciding your future is examining the best route that you can take according to your personality, and use it to grow and earn profits.  Financial Education.  Racial wealth gap based on a recent study shows that for every $100 that a white caucasian owns, the average African American has $5.48 .  Although there’s a lot of factors contributing to this, Anthony pinpoints mindset to why other races lag behind others. What you should focus on is controlling what you can, and doing the most with the little income that you have.  Learn to live below your income and educate your siblings, friends and relatives on the importance of financial discipline in everyday life.    You can take the $140 Dave Ramsey Personal Finance course free for the first 14 days by visiting https://www.daveramsey.com/blog/a-message-of-hope  Connect with Anthony O’neal Website - https://www.anthonyoneal.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aoneal/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/AnthonyONeal Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/anthonyoneal/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/anthonyoneal Connect with Doug Website - www.dougbopst.com Instagram - www.instagram.com/dougbopst We believe in eating only the best organic, humanely and high quality meat there is.
