Finally, real world financial education for young adults! Life can be confusing and chaotic. In the midst of completing your formal education and beginning a career, there is a constant level of uncertainty concerning what will transpire in the future. At The Jason Hartman Foundation, we are specifically concerned with helping young adults develop the necessary skills for financial success. These principals are encapsulated in the three C’s of Financial Success: Credit, Capital, and Competency. These principals serve as the fundamental building blocks not only for financial literacy and for creating long-term success. What is the purpose of secondary education? I s it to have children learn the names of dead English poets? Is it to memorize dates and facts rather than the lessons of history? Is to learn mathematical theorems that will have little, if any, practical use in later life? Jason Hartman, having experienced the full range of learning offered in the public schools of Southern California, believes that important aspects of a well-rounded education are lacking in secondary education taught in many American schools today. Hartman believes that real life demands real world financial literacy education. Learn how to set and achieve goals, become successful in your career or in your own business. Achieve financial security as an entrepreneur. Learn the things not taught in most schools on The Young Wealth Show.

The recent Obama stimulus package was so large it almost required the invention of a new number system. To be fair, it was around $787 billion, and what do we have to show for this amazing feat of presidential prowess?

Here are few of the more choice tidbits:

1.$100,000 for socially conscious puppet shows in Minnesota

2.$2 million for a replica railroad tourist attraction in Nevada

3.$700,000 to Oregon fishermen to recover lost crab pots

We’re stopping at this point, not because there are no more glaring examples of wayward stimulus spending but because we’re about to lose our lunch at the lengthy list of political stupidity. But we can’t go without revealing a special little boondoggle to the tune of $3.4 million. Have you heard about the poor little sea turtles down in Florida that get crunched on the road by passing automobile tires every season when they go the wrong way and miss the ocean? Lake Jackson, Florida, is spending the $3.4 million to build an underground turtle crossing.

Didn’t they already try something like this down in the Florida Keys to keep the key deer from getting run over? And the silly things couldn’t figure out how to use it and are STILL getting splattered. Sorry, unless they’re writing the directional signs in “Turtlese” the critters will only be using the new tunnel by accident.

Lesson for today. Do not build your personal financial plan using government logic.
