I firmly believe financial literacy is the foundation for the American Dream.
@USTreasury is proud to continue working with the private and public sectors to put financial literacy on the map. But there is much more to do.
National Financial Literacy Month helps to emphasize the importance of teaching communities how to create wealth, put money away, invest in their futures, and take steps toward reaching this dream.
🚨🇺🇸BILLIONAIRE RAY DALIO: MEDITATION, NOT MONEY, BUILT MY EMPIRE
Ray Dalio, the mastermind behind Bridgewater Associates’ $97.2 billion hedge fund empire, has a hot take: his success isn’t from smarts or hustle—it’s all about meditation.
Ray Dalio:
“The best advice I could give anybody? Meditate.
Whatever success I’ve had in life has been more due to my meditating than anything else.”
Since 1968, inspired by The Beatles, Dalio’s stuck to transcendental meditation—40 minutes daily, split into two 20-minute “vacations.”
It’s his secret sauce: those sessions spark creativity, sharpen decisions, and keep him steady—building a $16 billion fortune and a “radical transparency” legacy at Bridgewater.
For Dalio, it’s simple: “You’re peaceful. You’re quiet.”—success follows.
