Break The Cycle of Poverty - End Generational Suffering!

Are you happy and satisfied with where you are financially? If you aren't happy or satisfied, what are you going to start doing differently so you will be? Your child is depending on you to teach them how to handle one of the most essential tools in our lives. They are watching everything and if you're irresponsible with money and debt, it's likely they will pick up your bad habits. I'm sure you don't want that, and I know I never wanted that for my son.

Butler, Owens & Reid can arm you with financial literacy to allow your kids to be one step ahead of the game as they make their way into the world.  Your children can have the financial resources to live the life you want them to live without worrying about money.  You're one decision away from changing their entire life.

"We don't talk about money." How absurd! Not only should we be talking about money with our kids, but we should be helping them to build their financial decision making skills.

If money, budgeting, saving and talking about personal finance isn't your forte, it might be time to learn more about it. Not only will it benefit you and your financial life, but sharing these vital money principles will certainly help your kids.

According to the “third-generation rule,” 70% of affluent families will have lost their wealth by the third generation. Sustaining substantial wealth takes financial savvy–something that not all rich parents are passing along to their heirs. Creating communication and bringing the necessary resources to the community are the keys to improving outcomes.

According to Jonathan Hodge, a Financial Advisor at UBS, the underlying focus of wealth

must shift from the accumulation of tangible assets to the abundance of resources that “true” wealth can provide:  

• Wealth provides lower barriers to entry for families and business owners. Whether that is access to capital, education and/or healthcare; “true” wealth provides the means to these necessary tools
• Wealth provides the ability to build and have access to a powerful network of families and businesses that helps drive more successful outcomes
• Wealth is scalable, not only in the ability to grow over time as capital becomes available, but across generations as long as the proper tools are in place. This scalability helps build a lasting legacy.

Building wealth doesn't have to be extra hard if you take small steps that will make a huge-difference in the long-run.

One thing I never had growing up was the mindset and vocabulary of wealth.

I grew up poor and financially illiterate. I inherited that from my parents. I hit rock bottom in my early twenties when I had to file bankruptcy. I had student loan debt and credit card debt that kept climbing higher no matter how much money I seemed to pay on it. I hadn’t even started thinking about long-term savings or retirement. Without any prior knowledge of finance and investing, I decided to start from scratch and read everything I could about personal finance. I hired a business coach, a financial advisor, a day trading mentor, and filled my network with people that were smarter than me.  By age 23, I bought my first property, started earning six figures, and used that as leverage to create a new financial future.

I'm passing down a breadth of experience, resources and education to mitigate the barriers to building Black wealth and ensuring that the community is well-positioned to create a lasting legacy!

The poor, and the marginal, do not have the choices available to them that those who make good incomes or are rich have. Unlike the wealthier members of society, the poor simply have no alternatives to the “rules” imposed on them by the rich. The United States has one of the highest poverty rates in the developed world. One in Six Americans live below the poverty line. How will you and your family avoid being that One?

We've all heard the horror stories about young foolish millionaires squandering their inheritances on bad investments and frivolities. Yet, there are also countless stories of those who build more wealth with the resources left behind by their parents and grandparents. Consider these benefits and drawbacks before deciding on your ultimate legacy plan.
