Really solid take on why we can't just hand people financial wisdom. The part about information versus readiness is where I've seen people trip up most when I tried to help freinds with budgeting. They get the numbers but not the mindset shift needed underneath it all. What worked for me was tracking every purchase for3 months, tedious but it changed everything tbh.
When I give a person a fish (a tomato, a potato, a cabbage, etc.) I feed them a meal and I feel generous AND good about myself!!
When I help a person learn how to, when to, where to, why to fish, garden, cook and preserve excess fresh food, He/She/They feel better about themselves, can feed their families and others in need, and have lessons and techniques to pass on to those others and to generations to come. AND — THEY APPRECIATE ME AS A LIFE LONG MENTOR NOT A ONE TIME DONOR!
Great Job in evolving your techniques to share with those who desire sustainable financial prosperity.
Important lesson to remember when helping someone else try to crawl out from under their past bad decisions.
