Hey this is an amazing article! As someone trying to really understand finances I love how u spoke about that it comes from being exposed to different ways of thinking. So refreshing to hear!
This really reframes money as something shaped by environment, not just knowledge. The idea of an invisible ceiling explains why people stay stuck...it’s not lack of ability, it’s lack of exposure. It’s a strong reminder that real change often starts by getting into different conversations, even when they feel uncomfortable. This was a great perspective! Thank you for sharing!
life exposure is a great way to learn more, but so is watching financial news channels and realizing how much is out there to absorb... from the basics to the advanced. The other way to learn is just from having life experiences that cause a need to understand things you may not have been aware of before. Its a complex field and isn't learned quickly or cleanly at times. Moving away from life situations towards life situations that look appealing for your future requires the mental investment as well as the good conversations
Mindset! Mindset! Mindset! I have been reading a lot about how mindset changes the course of how we view wealth creation and how we produce it! I was having a conversation with someone recently, and as I was speaking about money and finances, the conversation instantly reverted to phrases like "be careful how you generate it", "be careful about this". But when I think about "happy" entrepreneurs like ali abdall, Gary V, Alexis Barber, Emma Chamberlain, and others, many of them are just yapping (building crazy businesses) and having fun on the internet, but behind the scenes their conversations about money are more than likely how to steward their investment to produce more fun content! And in Emma's case, how can we get more coffee and artsy things....IDK mindshift matters, guys and girls! I have literally met a janitor who is literally paying his daughters entire tuition for college, paying for her car, and retired early and takes side gigs just for the fun of it. We need to stop being "careful" and rather have a funnnn mindset and outlook!
So true... Wealth isn't just built in the bank…it’s built in the conversations we choose to step into. If you change what you hear every day, you eventually change what you do every day… 🖤

Powerful essay!!
Exactly this. It’s less about access to information and more about access to the room where those conversations happen.
This is a great bit of writing with a strong point that I believe is often overlooked:
Thinking it is easy, being in a non-optimal situation will get you the conversations that lead to suggestions, not action.

Rich Dad Poor Dad is a great book! Few people understand money psychology, great piece
Exposure changes the questions you ask and that’s where everything shifts.
