So thankful for our amazing leaders from our young professionals board and our OHOF board of directors! They are making a lasting impact on these teens!!
Mortgage Loan Officer | Former Private Wealth Banker | Financial Literacy Educator | NMLS ID # 2301893
Drove 3.5 hours roundtrip last night to spend some time with Oklahoma Hall of Fame's Teen Board and talk about financial literacy. When I was leaving, Bruce Benbrook, who is really a legend in our state and someone I aspire to be like, said, "You're going to be successful in your new venture, Nicole. I can already tell. I'm going to follow you and see how you're doing." I cried when I got to my car. As a young person, words like this matter to me. They make me believe in myself a little more each day. I still can't believe I get to sit next to people like Bruce and learn from them. I have the Oklahoma Hall of Fame and Shannon L. Rich CMP to thank for that. It was also so fun to talk about the below with the high schoolers! If you are connected to a school or nonprofit, invite me. This is absolutely a part of my life's purpose. 💡 People without money management skills make poor financial choices, no matter how much money they make. 💡 We all have our own "money mindsets" formed through our different backgrounds, families, and life experiences. 💡 79% of Gen Z and millennials take financial advice from social media. The problem? You can't always trust what you see online. Some of the "lifestyles" you see are really people drowning in credit card debt and "influencer" doesn't always equate to "finance expert."
