Thank you thank you thank you to everyone that stopped by @blackcitytees in LA yesterday at black on the block!! I loved talking to everyone and connecting, I’ll see you at the next one! ❤️❤️
For the first time since the U.S. government began collecting the data, young Black men are dying by suicide at a higher rate than young white men https://t.co/vkSPC7ERvz
Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!
All it takes is $500/month invested in the S&P500 to retire a millionaire.
If you can’t retire with at least a million dollars invested it’s because you had a spending problem.
“They told us voting is a privilege, not a right.”
That’s what I heard from students at North Carolina A&T who are fighting to protect access to the ballot.
These young leaders are organizing, speaking out, and refusing to let anyone take their power, and I am so proud of them.
Get extremely interested in personal finance and build a totally automated financial system that targets 60% of take-home pay to Fixed Costs, 5-10% to savings, 5-10% to investments, and 20-35% to Guilt-Free Spending. (Adjust as necessary.) Understand the impact of fees on investment returns and avoid an AUM advisor at all costs, as well as whole life insurance. Fight for simplicity in your finances with 1-2 credit cards. Use tax-advantaged accounts such as your Roth IRA and 401k. Study compound interest and recognize that in your early 20s, any additional money you invest now will be worth much more later. Finally, remember to also develop the skill of spending money meaningfully. Whether that’s travel or health or self care or generosity, use your money to live your vision of a Rich Life
Congratulations to @XavierBecerra. I am excited to offer him all the support I can as he sets out to become our state’s next governor.
This race has featured a large field with many strong candidates, and I am confident that our party will now unite behind Xavier and his calm, steady brand of leadership.
I have been fortunate to see firsthand how Xavier never shies away from the biggest fights, whether it was taking on the drug companies as Secretary of Health and Human Services or going after sex traffickers and big polluters as California’s Attorney General. I know as Governor, he will do whatever it takes to stand up to Donald Trump, defend our rights, and protect our communities.
I look forward to standing with Xavier as California makes history by electing our first Latino governor in 150 years.
