One of the things I encourage you to do is to take a good look at yourself. You’re probably reading this on your phone/laptop?

You’re already better off than most people on this planet. Let’s orient ourselves and acknowledge our privilege. This doesn’t mean we don’t take full advantage of the privilege that we’ve been bestowed with. But it does provide some much needed perspective. We’re good. We can be better, but we are good.

This also helps with actively identifying people around you who don’t have the same privilege and opportunities that you do, and paving the way for them. It could be as simple as helping someone figure out mobile banking on their phone, helping someone open a bank account, walking them through the KYC process, literally anything you can do to advance their position, you should be be doing.

Not only does it empower those people, it feels amazing. There is so much psychology behind how we deal with money, I’m shocked that we don’t talk about this more. The more you feel like you’re making a positive contribution, the more ownership you feel toward your life and your own money.
