Why don’t more kids learn about financial literacy and entrepreneurship in school? Why are these not part of the core curriculum from kindergarten through 12th grade?

Episode 53: What 3 Bricklayers Can Tell Us About the Power of Mindset with Phillip Ramsey and Bryan Dewhurst
There’s a parable we came across about the 3 bricklayers: one sees it as a dead-end job, the other sees it as a career that pays the bills, and the other can’t wait to wake up tomorrow and keep building a beautiful cathedral. The point is, the same set of circumstances can be met with […]

If you’ve followed us for any length of time, you know how we feel about IRAs and 401(k)s.
