250 years ago, a bold idea changed the course of history. Today we celebrate the people, principles, and enduring promise of the United States of America.

It was great talking to Stephen and the inspiring young people weโve worked with at the @ObamaFoundation on the @ColbertLateShow.
When the Obama Presidential Center opens this June 19, my hope is that this will be a place where people can come together to meet, learn, and work with each other to create change in their communities. Learn more at https://t.co/ahkDMKalIn.

"At some point, there's not much point investing an extra $10K"
The key lesson here: The longer you invest and the more you invest, the less your later investments really move the needle
This sounds obvious ("Just invest a lot, duh"), but the math is shocking. At some point, investing $10K -- or even $100K! -- basically changes nothing
I talk to many people who are OVERINVESTING and have no idea. Their new challenge is to learn how to spend and give away their extra money. Better to start that now instead of 20 years from now
The second lesson: Invest early, automatically, and aggressively. You can do this by setting up a calendar entry for every December 15th to increase your take-home investing by 1%. You won't miss it, but that decision alone is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars

As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. taught us, darkness cannot drive out darkness, and hate cannot drive out hate. Only light and love can do that. So today, letโs remember our responsibilities to march hand in hand, to stand peacefully with dignity and purpose in the ongoing fight for justice. To organize. To mobilize. To vote. To believe, no matter how far away the mountaintop might feel, it is in our capacity to change our communities and our country for the better.
