4 Things White Men Have Taught Me About Money
I’m in a relationship with a white man and he’s taught me quite a bit about money. I’m a lawyer and most of the people in my office and in court are white men. Moreover, there’s a million white men all over the internet. I have a high level of exposure to white men and I’ve learned a lot from them about money. They’re not explicitly teaching me mind you, rarely has any white dude sat me down, took out a piece of chalk and written out money wisdom on a chalk board. But based on their behavior I’ve learned a lot and I think, as a Black woman, these are some helpful things to know.
You Should Be Investing It
This was the biggest lesson I learned. I thought I was doing great by paying my bills on time and saving consistently every month. And none of that was bad, but investing one’s money is leveling up. As I’ve learned, if I’m not investing my money then I’m essentially losing my money. So, I started educating myself about the stock market and 2021 became the year I officially became an investor.
