    About this ebook

    This book is a compact guide about the need for financial planning and future investment in the African American community within the United States. My aim is to provide information and advice about financial literacy, psychology, and the important need to budget and invest for the future. African Americans may be leaving their future down to chance if they do not fully understand the need for self-improvement in financial literacy. There should be an established financial education from an early age to help combat the poor choices that are often made because of this financial illiteracy. You cannot blame a community if the people were never offered any sound financial advice in the first place. Therefore, my wish is to represent and inform African Americans about the benefits of complete financial understanding.

    J M. Fields is a financial professional who is the founder of the company www.thefinancialpromise.com He is dedicated to educating and helping people to change their personal financial circumstances for the better. The Financial Promise’s mission is to be dedicated in working with communities to increase personal financial and business literacy so that they can invest in themselves to build financial stability, develop their careers and to create their own businesses to help increase their personal wealth. The company vision is to be recognized as a trusted leader that helps community members improve their chances of success by making smarter financial decisions. It is a company that offers a lot to people from all walks of life including from minority backgrounds who have not had the opportunity tom seek personal advancement in the financial world. The Financial promise’s Personal Finance and Business Literacy curriculum and presentations on offer are engaging and fun, yet they also meet core educational standards. The programming has been widely recognized for its ability to connect with students, managers, and CEO’s and it inspires all participants of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds to take positive financial action. Consumers must confront complicated financial decisions at a very young age in today’s demanding financial environment, and financial mistakes made early in life can be extremely costly. Therefore young people often find themselves carrying large amounts of student loans or credit card debt, and such early entanglements can hinder their ability to accumulate wealth. The financial promise helps young adults to make decisions that will limit any further financial mistakes in the future. The company’s dynamic financial literacy curriculum for 9-12th graders in the US, features an engaging design, student-centered activities, research projects, discussion points, and tools and resources that are all-designed to engage students in learning the personal finance skills that they need to succeed in life after high school.

      SUMMARY:

      This book is a compact guide about the need for financial planning and future investment in the African-American community within the United States. My aim is to provide information and advice about financial literacy, psychology and the important need to budget and invest for the future. African-Americans may be leaving their future down to chance if they do not fully understand the need for self-improvement in financial literacy. There should be an established financial education from an early age to help combat the poor choices that are often made because of this financial illiteracy. You cannot blame a community if the people were never offered any sound financial advice in the first place. Therefore my wish is to represent and inform African-Americans about the benefits of complete financial understanding.

      INTRODUCTION:

      In America today, the African-American community may be failing to realize the importance of financial planning and the psychology behind it. This is why all educational processes from a young age, such as high schools and through to college and universities should offer a comprehensive financial education curriculum that teaches the concepts of economics and the benefits of being financially aware in all aspects concerning personal and business finance. With the capability to apply proven techniques and logical financial strategies to help budget, invest and save, the future will be far brighter for African-Americans. This book intends to advize, inform and provide the community with sound financial advice and to hopefully offer support to those who wish to improve their financial literacy and become more financially aware for the future. I feel that the African-American community is currently underrepresented and this also includes mixed minorities, woman and veterans, etc. My intention and rationale is to look at this problem in depth and attempt to address it by assessing why communities of color need to be represented and offered more education about personal and business finances from an early age and into adulthood. We should never stop learning but unfortunately the underrepresented can have a hard time finding access to educational opportunities. This may lead to more difficulties in the
