CAN YOU AFFORD TO RETIRE?
According to NBC NEWS:
The USIDHR -The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 (General Assembly resolution 217 A) as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected and it has been translated into over 500 languages. The UDHR is widely recognized as having inspired, and paved the way for, the adoption of more than seventy human rights treaties, applied today on a permanent basis at global and regional levels (all containing references to it in their preambles).

PFAC ADVISORY BOARD MEETING
Last night we were reminded how important our voice is. God began speaking to me reminding me that the power of our voice has someones healing/breakthrough/answer attached to it. I may not be in that circle to be able to speak to my issue. But if someone in that circle has my issue and speaks to it, that's my voice too. For so long we have sat and watched isolated circles that serve no purpose but to the community it serves. What about everyone else? Health is everyone's issue at some point in life. We have advocated for 'special groups', and groups whose only agenda is for itself. People have health issues, all people. Black and white. Free and incarcerated. No matter the race, age, sex, gender, or belief system, health is an American problem. For that matter is a human problem. I believe the highest form of service to mankind is solving issues for mankind. That means everyone not just a select few. Last night so many people had a voice as we met and begin to advise top health professionals and state government on policies that would help people. Not just a few people. But everyone. What good is your voice if you don't use it? Open up your mouth and use your power to advocate solutions for everyone. So a man thinks...

YOU CAN DO BOTH
Saving is one of the most, if not the most, important building blocks to financial success. Consistent saving helps to build your wealth. Consistent saving also beats inflation if done early. In times past, I find that a lot of our black and brown culture may have succeeded with 'keeping up with the Jones's. But what we failed at is financial education. As if false religion and slavery weren't enough we now face financial illiteracy. As a result of this deficit we are now on a mission to bring education to those who are willing to learn. Lesson one is to learn how to save while you eliminate your debt. Neglecting to save while paying off debt will not benefit your money making money. Money is made two ways. By labor time or by multiplication. You can exchange your time for labor. Or you can invest in saving and your money will multiply. Yes, it is possible to both save and eliminate debt.

THE EQUATION TO MONEY FREEDOM
The good news is people are living longer. The bad news is people are living longer but don't know how to invest nor steward their money matters. Because of this issue most people come out of retirement to get sometimes three or more jobs to help them meet financial obligations. There is a lot that could be mentioned but the truth is you don't know, what you don't know.
