"Come out, come out"

Straight up frustrated and angry with the fact that financial literacy is something so hard to attain. I’m also frustrated with the lack of resources to address this issue. Financial literacy is a privilege and is not accessible to people who come from lower socioeconomic status or immigrant communities. Whenever I want to sit down and write a blog, I get overwhelmed by just my feelings and thoughts about it. But I’ll at least post this. There needs to be some change.

If you have financial literacy or come from a family background that has the social capital that can help facilitate financial literacy, then check that privilege. Because for all the people who are struggling financially right now, it is a painful subject one that is rarely talked about. I personally feel lost, confused, and like I said angry and frustrated. I’m tired of not talking about it. So I’m going to reach out. Samahang Pilipino has their financial campaign right now. I wish I was following it more closely. I feel humbled to admit that even though financial literacy was a campaign, and it’s an issue that not only personally affects me very much, but my community, I didn’t actively try to learn what it was about or get involved. I challenge anybody who reads this to do so.
