4 home-buying tips from my CNN interview: 1. Think beyond the mortgage. Plan for taxes, insurance, utilities etc. 2. Drive 'til you qualify. Venture out further for cheaper homes & to qualify 4 a mortgage. 3. Use down payment assistance programs. 🤑 4. Choose an ARM for a lower interest rate.
MAJOR business announcement coming August 20th to help you with your finances. Earl and I are collaborating with a top tier group of financial experts (and with select brands) on something unprecedented. Stay tuned for details soon! #TheMoneyCoach #PersonalFinance #Finance #FinancialServices
Trump fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner after poor July jobs data. Talk about shooting the messenger! 🤦🏽♀️ But Erika McEntarfer didn’t create weak job growth. She just measured & reported it. Trump firing her is like a CEO firing the CFO because he didn’t like quarterly earnings. SMH
Welp. Say a prayer for the 16 million+ Americans about to lose healthcare now that the House just passed the Trump’s budget bill. Take a look at the picture below and see how many people in your state will lose coverage. And let’s not talk about cuts to food stamps, Medicare etc.
Exciting news: I’m now writing “Money Moves,” a biweekly financial column for Rwanda’s leading newspaper! 🇷🇼 After 25+ years helping Americans with their finances, I’m bringing practical wealth-building strategies to readers of @NewTimesRwanda.

Day 9 in Rwanda brought us to AMIR House. We met Exec Director Jackson Kwikiriza. His org has achieved a remarkable 96% financial inclusion rate across Rwanda through 450+ microfinance institutions. The most exciting part? Discovering how our missions align perfectly! #VisitRwanda #Microfinance
Don’t call it Black Monday. It’s #OrangeMonday — a market crash due to reckless trade policies, not fundamentals. This isn’t natural volatility. It’s avoidable economic pain driven by Trump’s arbitrary decisions. Your 401(k), college fund & savings deserve better. #StockMarketCrash #OrangeMonday
Just did a Fox 5 News interview from Cairo on the financial tsunami brewing. Markets in freefall, Powell confirming tariffs = recession & folks wondering what to do. My latest piece "10 Ways to Survive the Trump Economy" offers practical steps. Full article in thread ⤵️ #Tariffs #StockMarketCrash
The Great Pyramid: 4500 years standing, 2.3M stones, engineering perfection. It got me thinking - financial freedom is built the same way as these monuments. One. Block. At. Time. Africa → America → Financial bridges. Egypt now; next #Rwanda! Who's ready to build something that lasts millennia? ✋

Pro tip to those dealing w/ the wildfires: DO apply for FEMA/federal aid but DON’T count solely on the feds. Tap into local/regional aid from nonprofits like Team Rubicon, Red Cross & the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster Relief (VOAD). They give immediate food, shelter, $$ etc.

Why would Elon Musk or anyone else even think of getting rid of the CFPB? 🤯 Just look at what they've done: 1️⃣ Protected us from predatory lenders with $3B+ in consumer relief via enforcement actions in 2023 alone. 2️⃣ Stopped unfair student loan collections on loans discharged in bankruptcy. 1/2
