Money Is A Language

If I dropped you in a foreign land, like China or Africa, and didn’t teach you how to speak the language, how successful do you really think you would be?

Humor me for a second.

" This week, the S&P 500 is down 0.1%, the Dow is up 0.4%, and following deadly attacks in Saudi Arabia, oil prices have climbed to nearly $107 a barrel. Meanwhile, AI growth is pushing the stock market toward record highs, even though 4 out of 10 S&P 500 stocks are actually down this year."

That's real news that's affecting you and your money right now, and it means absolutely nothing to you.

And that's if you even finished the sentence and didn't X out of my newsletter already.

That's my point exactly.

Ironically enough, that’s exactly how we're set up to succeed today.

You get a job, and then all of a sudden you’re expected to know how to speak the language of money.

Ten years in the game of finance and the deeper I get into my industry, the more I realize that I'm speaking a completely different language to people unless I make sure that I slow to translate.

Hitting that next financial level in life is completely dependant on if you know how to speak the language.

So take a second and ask yourself.

“Do I know how to speak it or not?”

Or a better way to ask: “Was I ever taught the language or not?             

What do you think when you see an investment statement, a contract, a news headline, a loan document, or a report about interest rates?

If it doesn't set off a series of follow-up questions, connection points between what you're reading and what's happening, and the broader narrative of money.

That’s the point.

Seeing numbers isn’t the same as knowing how to read them.

That’s the language.

And once you learn how to speak it, you start seeing money very differently.

Money is a language.

Going forward I'll be doing my part to provide whatever resources necessary and of course provide financial advice and managing your money when requested but whatever you do. With everything happening in today's world, make sure you

Learn The Language of Money.
