The greatest struggle Samke is currently dealing with is a self-imposed racial stigma. She had a subconscious racial bias towards herself. She felt somewhat unsure of herself and her skills around some people and felt more confident around others. She’s learnt that in life, we can’t hold on to certain racial biases we have of ourselves and others.
Her dream is to someday host a financial health talk show. To help educate all people about finances and keep their money healthy. Here’s a little advice about financial health from the money doctor free of charge:
1) Start thinking in terms of legacy: you need to leave your children with something.
2) The fundamentals must be in place.
3) Do not compare yourself to others, plan accordingly.
4) Saving is a learned discipline, so learn it and keep at it.
5) Be intentional, even in your spending
6) Have patience: don’t buy things you can’t afford because you want a certain lifestyle. “He who can have patience can have what he will.” Benjamin Franklin
7) It’s about when and how to enjoy your money.
