This is for people over the age of 45. Most black people 40 and under have a net worth of $0.

Now I don't think humans can be summed up in a dollar figure. But if we want to increase our value, we must re-educate ourselves about money.

Money is not stressful or confusing. It just requires a strategy and early information. I know high earning black people who have barely any money in savings. "Wealthy" black athletes have proven that even a millionaire income cannot guarantee long term wealth.
