Can you tell me more about the wealth gap and, and that, the poverty mindset?
2:17
Yeah.

Well, I don't think it's a real secret that, that there is an increasing wealth gap in our country.
2:25
And but what I've found as, as I've grown in my own financial literacy is that oftentimes people that are in poverty really do have a lot of the same opportunities.
2:35
They just don't know the secrets of the wealthy.
2:38
And a lot of those secrets are, are really available to everybody.
2:42
It's just, there's just things that people that grow up middle class and upper middle class know and are taught, and there's people, and, and a lot of those same things are just never taught to people that grow up in poverty.
