*I'm afraid we have developed an entitlement mentality as a nation. And I'm not talking about just poor people. Too many people, from the president and ministerial body on down, expect a pension from the government. I really wish we could afford to solve our problems, but to do that would bankrupt our nation. We could ask the rich to pay for everyone, but would it solve the problem? And for how long would it even solve the problem?* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I want people to let go of the entitlement mentality and become rich so they can solve problems.... their own problems. https://s19.postimg.org/vm6t52b4z/mind.jpg -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The best way to solve the problem of bad financial results is to change our thoughts; *to start thinking like rich people rather than poor and middle-class people*. That means losing the *entitlement mentality*. Whether you are a military officer, government worker, schoolteacher, employee or just poor. If we do not stop expecting the government to take care of us, we will continue to have the same results - ***a bankrupt nation filled with well-educated but financially needy people***. *Albert Einstein* defined insanity as "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." In this case, it is my opinion that it is insanity to keep sending kids to school and not teaching them about money. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Instead of walking away with a solid financial education, most kids leave school- some already deeply in debt - prepared only to work hard, save money, get out of debt, invest for the long term and diversify. https://s19.postimg.org/gwlz0k8v7/o-_PILES-_OF-_AMERICAN-_MONEY-facebook.jpg "*Diversification is protection against ignorance. It makes very little sense if you know what you are doing*." *Warren Buffet*. *This entitlement mentality is a monster problem; Huge; and I agree. Bigger even than the national debt, the falling dollar, the oil crisis and retirement programs. And those are very big and very real problems*. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Our financial problems are caused by the way we think. We have to change the way we think about money. https://s19.postimg.org/iw2krz36r/Whats_App_Image_2017-09-12_at_15.18.31.jpg

Very useful post...l think its about time we patronise on technical and vocational education as well...most people leave college with nothing in hand to begin life with..creating something to meet the needs of the society should be a priority..thanks to #teamghana

Love that Buffett quote. Great post. I agree with your thoughts. Which nation do you call home? That could have been your 5th tag.
