Segment: From Treasury Bills to Shares - Investment Path That Builds Real Wealth for Young People

From understanding that savings alone is not enough to learning how to buy shares that can turn 10,000 cedis into 100,000 cedis in one year, and why the brutal truth about building wealth is that young people don't know the difference between shares and treasury bills when treasury bills are regulated by the government giving you fixed returns like water in a cup that's always there when you drink but shares are buying a part of a company like MTN or Gold or Ben's oil palm plantation where if the company does well your shares do well but you cannot determine when it's going to rise or fall, the financial literacy educator who breaks down Maslow's hierarchy explaining that self actualization is where people invest big time into shares that work for them and they do not necessarily have to do something else proving that even when Dr. McDonald says he's not where he wants to be we see him as self actualized but to him he is not showing the difference between social status and perception, the young woman teaching people through 30 Seats that in the typical Ghanaian environment if you die it is what is said about you after the death that matters because if you only had money to take care of yourself and your family and extended family but die right now they would say you didn't leave any property proving it is money it is money not just words, the reality that people comment in DMs asking why will I save my next of kin will come and chop the money when actually you need to work hard to change that perception and leave something behind, the process of buying shares starting with saving then taking a portion of that saving to investment using IC wealth app or Black Star app where you register get a CSD account buy the shares and move forward, the top three shares young people can invest in today being MTN shares which she personally invests in, Gold shares that went from 1,250 cedis last year to now being scarce, and Ben's oil palm plantation which is doing very well, the shocking revelation that one company appreciated by 1,000% meaning if you had saved 10,000 cedis last year now you're making 100,000 cedis from buying the shares proving the power of patient investment, the wisdom that nobody gets huge money in one minute and you can't just wake up and be the MP for Kasoa or expect that buying Tom Tom for somebody will make you successful because it's a process you need to go through, the discipline that shares teach you because if you're not disciplined you cannot grow money and you cannot keep money which is why young people need to cut down expenses like the NSS personnel who sees their boss buying 100 cedis jollof and wants to do the same when the boss has worked hard to be where he is, the confession from the host about working at 17 years old in London teaching a lady's son piano for 18 pounds an hour on Wednesdays doing three or four hours but never saving any money proving that the level of discipline required for a teenager to save money is something we don't speak about enough, the temptation of spending money on Mx90s trainers at 17 instead of saving showing how hard it is for young people to resist immediate gratification, the government money of 30 pounds a week just for going to school that was never saved or invested but probably sent back home for siblings proving that even when money comes easy without work it's hard to save unless you have a clear purpose and discipline.
