The crew discusses the Bankrate article featuring Lawrence Delva-Gonzalez. Can Black families build generation wealth during a period of higher-than-average inflation, higher costs, and mounting uncertainty? Lawrence's answer is always YES!
Americans are struggling with the long-term effects of trading time with hyper-consumer spending. As such, the easiest thing to do now is to pivot towards a healthy relationship between our self-worth and our money.

Staycations, Vacations and Finances
The TFG crew discusses summer travel plans and the importance of creating small joys. Around a third of Americans enjoy two to three vacations per year. Meanwhile, just over a quarter have not traveled for non-business-related trips in the past 12 months, and around a fifth of respondents have traveled once (Statista).
According to the global tourism body's 2024 Economic Impact Research (EIR), Travel & Tourism will contribute an additional $770 billion over its previous record, stamping its authority as a global economic powerhouse, generating one in every 10 dollars worldwide. Specifically in the United States, the Travel & Tourism market is expected to generate a revenue of $198.70 billion.
According to gobankingrates.com, Americans spend between $2,000 and $3,000 per year on travel, which includes food, entertainment, hotels, and flights. However, the average cost of a vacation varies by generation, with Gen Z spending the least at $1,953 per trip, and the Silent Generation spending the most at $3,543.

TFG crew is together again, discussing artisanal coffee spots... Nah, we are talking about gentrification, the loss of the third place, and your current buying opportunity. Since change is a universal constant, why not get in on the front end and enjoy?
Can gentrification be a good thing? First, let's define it.
Gentrification is a housing, economic, and health issue that affects a community's history and culture and reduces social capital. It often shifts a neighborhood's characteristics (e.g., racial/ethnic composition and household income) by adding new stores and resources in previously run-down neighborhoods.
This structure allows the wealthy to put their children in their well-funded public schools while leaving low-income families and students concentrated on their own, usually under-resourced schools. Among a myriad of other issues which include displacement, cultural erasure, and a spike in the cost of living, especially for underserved communities.
Some of the benefits of gentrification include reduced crime rates, improved infrastructure and economic growth.

Episode Notes
The TFG crew discusses Diddy's fallout and raid, the collapse of the Baltimore Bridge, and more. The world is changing and so are the power dynamics. And that's not a bad thing. When society is unequal few people win while providing misinformation to others. However change is never simple, Some people will go to jail or prison in the end.
Be careful of the company you keep and try not to go to a Diddy-style party.

The Financial Griot podcast panel discusses how we are all trying our best to reengage with the world. 2019 was five years ago and it almost feels ancient. We are all getting older and steadily slowing down. For some, getting outside is out of necessity. For others, it's an opportunity to help others. Either way, we are outside again.
Will it be for the better this time?

The Financial Griot team is back to discuss the modern dating landscape and the myriad of failed relationships. There is nothing worse than the dreaded question, "What do you bring to the table?".
Check, please.
The modern dating scene is characterized by an abundance of choices, with online platforms and dating apps providing a seemingly endless pool of potential matches. With the cost of dinner for two pushing $100, it's nearly unaffordable. Some say that dating is harder now than it was 10 years ago due to more physical and emotional risks, advances in technology, it being harder to meet people, and shifting societal expectations.

Did you tune into the 2024 State of the Union? We did so you don't have to. What's the takeaways? Classic chest-pumping Americana with a load of promises that may or may not come true. Likely not but we can dream. Biden v Trump 2024 is shaping up.
According to CNN —
President Joe Biden delivered a raucous third State of the Union address, one that could be among the most important speeches he gives during his presidency as he turns toward reelection. His list of objectives was long: Tout his accomplishments in office, look ahead to a second-term agenda, allay concerns about his age and fitness and provide a contrast with Republicans, including his rival Donald Trump. The result was a fiery speech that bore little resemblance to his States of the Union past. Intent on displaying his energy and eager to engage with Republicans, Biden delivered a starkly political speech that his aides hope can ease Democratic jitters about his political prospects.Biggest takeaways according to NPR:
He took on Trump extensively on a wide range of policiesReproductive rights are front and center in 2024 campaignBiden made the case for why his economic policies are workingBorder security provoked a GOP response, and blame gameBiden addressed critics on his Mideast policy, stepped up criticism of Israeli leadersElements that President Biden needed to address, according to PBS:

The crew discusses cultural norms and beauty standards. Research shows that physically attractive workers earn up to 15% more than those considered less or unattractive. Even more surprising, the beauty pay gap is larger for men than women.
Check out the following:
According to financialpoise.com, beauty bias can affect your financial future, with attractive people earning 4% more than the average salary and those who are less attractive earning 4% less. Attractive people are also more likely to be called back for interviews and are perceived as more confident, trustworthy, and socially skilled. Women who routinely spend money on their appearance will shell out almost a quarter of a million dollars, $1,756 a year, or $313 a month throughout their lifetime. Versus men who shell out $175,680, about $2,928 a year or $244 a month. Some studies suggest that taller people earn more money. For example, a 2004 study found that for every inch of height, a person's salary increases by $789, which means someone who is 6 feet tall would earn nearly $166,000 more over a 30-year career than someone who is 5 feet 5 inches. This study also noted that height is positively associated with work hours.According to a 2014 WSJ article, a study of 1.3 million Swedish men found that CEOs are generally taller than average, with the average man being 5'10.5" and CEOs being 6' on average. A 2014 LinkedIn study also found that male CEOs average 6 ft tall, and that height differences among CEOs are linked to differences in pay.Wait what's a Financial Griot?

Wait what's a Financial Griot?
The Financial Griot is a play on two words (Finance + Griot) that hold significance in closing the wealth gap while embracing our differences. We tell the stories that others don't. Stories about growth, opportunity, and even Wars. Beyond that, we tie it back to how it reflects on your finances. Specifically, we are teaching you how to become financially literate, incorporate actionable steps, and ultimately build generational wealth.
Can you imagine being a Millionaire in 20 years or less? Yeah, it's possible. 80% of millionaires are the first generation. That means they didn't come from wealth. We teach you how. Join a community of subscribers who welcome a fresh take on money.
So there you have it, The Financial Griot, or TFG for short. The hosts were able to amass over $2 Million in wealth in about eight years and are on track to retire early. We will gladly share the secrets if you want them since the opportunity is abundant and Win-Win.
