The Missing Lesson: Money 101
Let’s go back to the basics with Money 101. We spent years in school learning about math, science, history, and even foreign languages. We were taught how to calculate equations, understand the periodic table, and analyze great literary works. But how many of us had a class dedicated to financial literacy? How many of us were taught how to create wealth and sustain it for a lifetime? The truth is, most of us never received that education. And yet, financial knowledge is one of the most crucial life skills we need to navigate the real world.

We were expected to learn money management on our own—through trial and error, often making costly mistakes along the way. Imagine how different things would be if schools had a “Money 101” class. A class that teaches us how to budget, invest, and create income you will never outlive. Instead of just memorizing dates of historical events, we could be learning how to build financial security. If that class was never offered to you, let’s have that lesson today.
The first rule of financial literacy is understanding that money is not just for spending—it’s for growing. The sooner you learn how to make your money work for you, the closer you get to achieving financial growth. It’s not about how much you earn but how you manage, save, and invest that income. Every dollar has the potential to multiply if placed in the right vehicle, whether it’s real estate, stocks, or a business venture.
Another crucial lesson is knowing how to create wealth in a way that lasts for generations. Too many people work tirelessly for money without learning how to make money work for them. Passive income, wise investments, and smart financial strategies can ensure that you not only live comfortably but that your family does too. Creating income you will never outlive should be a priority, not an afterthought.
So, what’s the solution? If schools aren’t teaching us these lessons, then it’s up to us to take control of our financial education. Read books, attend seminars, and most importantly, pass this knowledge on to those you love. Because chances are, they didn’t get a Money 101 class either. Financial growth is not a privilege; it’s a choice that comes with the right education and action.
It’s time to break the cycle of financial ignorance. It’s time to create wealth, secure our futures, and ensure that we have income we will never outlive. The greatest investment you can make is in your financial education—because with knowledge comes power, and with power comes freedom. Are you ready to take control?
