Change...?

Just yesterday I was asked how can we (the people) stop the madness in Washington and really create change. I have to admit, that is one of the toughest questions I have had to wrestle with in my life. Clearly, we all have a position on the various controversial topics these days, as we should.

Regardless of your stance on change and what really needs to happen, one truth is clear. There are little ones all around us that need our support. Children today are being raised in a culture of impulse purchasing and reality TV. I will argue that this not a healthy direction to raise the next generation if we want to see long-term change for the better.

If we want real long-term change we need to educate our children on more than reading, writing, and arithmetic. We need to educate them on principles such as delayed gratification and consequences for choices. We need to teach them the fourth rule of money: "I have to work hard and smart to earn more money." We need to teach them how cash flow works in the real world. In doing these things we can change the long-term future for the better.

All the Best,
