I’m privileged. I may not be wealthy financially (yet), but I still think I am so so privileged. When I think about the people that I have been surrounded by, I don’t take it for granted. At least I try not to. Not everyone has the privilege to be surrounded by educated people. Most of my friends and people I know have degrees. All around me I know people starting their own businesses. I see people who serve the Lord and aren’t total prudes. People who are financially savvy. That makes me privileged. I’ve seen that I can start my own business, that I can be financially independent. That gives me a confidence others have to fight for. Today I am grateful.
What brought this to the forefront of my mind? Wall Street. Wall Street is a huge part of New York. Amidst all the craziness and mass hysteria I am relatively calm. I have money invested in the market as well, but I’m not worried. Partially because I am claiming in faith that though we are in a recession I will not suffer the consequences of such. Also because I understand money and the market, but I only know this stuff because people around me taught me and pointed me to the right places to research and read. I think that’s pretty cool.
