I spent an hour on The Black Money Tree going through the basics most of us were never taught at home: credit and how to repair it, good debt versus bad debt, homeownership and business ownership.

Most people don’t fail to build wealth because they aren’t smart. They fail because nobody showed them how the game works. That is fixable.
