I don't know if you've been following my recent mini-series on "what the rich are taught about wealth that the poor and middle class aren't" (not really named that, but the point), but this is sooo in sync with that.

As I think you know, nothing has gone wrong. This is HOW you learn if you weren't raised by parents who knew how wealth works and who bothered to teach you.

I grew up poor, so have many, many such examples of "learning from experience." I've lost a million more than once! Yet we keep learning, and hopefully we teach what we learn as we go.

I can recall in college the wealthy kids around me literally trying to hide financial knowledge from me whenever they realized that, "My God, she actually doesn't know this!" Well let's do the opposite. Let's shout it from the roof tops.
