I welcome you to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learner's featured post. Sometimes I wish that finances and ways to be financially stable were forced on us as kids in this part of the world the same way religion is forced on us. If things that really mattered to us like finances were forced on us, maybe things would have been different; maybe we would have more people attain financial stability than be average people and struggle to make ends meet. In this part of the world I feel like the wrong things are forced on us more than what actually matters or what actually benefits us.
There are so many things we were forced to learn growing up as kids, and now as adults those things are not helping us in any way. All those things were more like a total waste of our time, and today they are of no use, and we just know them for knowing sake, not that they add value to our lives or benefit us in any way. There are so many things they forced on us, and we had to learn them because we had no other choice, and today they have been forgotten because they were of no importance or value and were just something we needed to know temporarily or for the time being so we could write exams on them, pass, and move on with our lives.
If the time we spent finding X and Y was actually spent learning the crypto market and the foreign exchange market as well, learning how to navigate through applications that allow you to buy and sell crypto and foreign stocks and even local stocks, trust me, that knowledge would have come in handy, as I would have used it to build my financial life to the level I want, but all I got from school was knowledge on how to find X and Y, and today I cannot use that knowledge for anything that benefits me or adds value to my life. To a point I think knowledge that does not push towards achieving your dreams or becoming financially stable or comfortable like you always dreamt of as a kid is wasted knowledge.
Where do I apply the knowledge of finding X and Y, and how does it add value to my life? It was a total waste of my time, and every day I wish the time spent both in class and at home finding X and Y, which I did not misplace, was spent doing something else that would have helped my life today, something that would have helped propel me towards my dreams and help me achieve all that I dream of.
With all I have said, I think you can already guess my answer to this question. It is a yes, and yes any day, any time. I really do have regrets because I am one of those that gave finding X and Y all of our time, thinking it was the way, but now as grown-ups we have come to realize that finding X and Y was never the way; you need financial literacy to get there, and one way to get the financial literacy to help propel you towards your dream is by learning things like crypto and the Forex market. It has given a lot of people the push they need already and is undoubtedly one of the best things kids can be introduced to at an early stage so they can have something to fall back on when, after school, the government fails to provide them with deserving jobs.
