Cari - The Financial Firefly

Today, I honor...

A Beacon Of Light
The Peace Maker
A Beautiful And Creative Soul
A True Sister, Soror and Friend

In the summer of 2018, a tragic boat accident in the Bahamas claimed the life of a female American tourist that was on vacation celebrating her wedding anniversary. That tourist was my dear friend and AKA sorority sister, Maleka Grimes Jackson. 🙏🏾🩷💚

Maleka was someone that would literally get the party started (even if there wasn't a party going on at all 😅). She loved to sing, could literally get people out their seats to start dancing, laughing, and just having a good ol time. She organically brought people together with fun, love and harmony.

Maleka was just an overall genuine person that loved to help others. 💕💕💕

I miss her so much. 🥹

Maleka, I pray that you keep smiling and shining over all of us as you continue to Rest In Paradise.

Throughout the month of July, I’ll be honoring someone who was **gone too soon** while encouraging families to protect their legacy.

If you’d like to make sure your family is prepared, DM me the word LEGACY. I’d be honored to help. ✨✨✨

Always remember...Financial Literacy Is a Human Right!

Every individual - regardless of zip code, background, or circumstance deserves the knowledge to earn, manage, and grow their future.

Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

And that’s what we do. We arm people with knowledge and provide the resources to take action.

One of the best feelings is knowing that me and my team are responsible for hundreds of people being able to build & pass down assets vs. liabilities ✨✨✨

The choice is yours.

One of the most misunderstood words with money is “safe.”

A traditional savings account may feel safe because 1) the balance is stable and 2) it's easily accessible. Also, when it comes to emergency funds or short-term needs, that kind of stability can play an important role.

But long-term financial safety is BIGGER than simply avoiding market movement.

The Rule of 72 helps make the difference clear...divide 72 by the interest rate (or the rate of return that you are earning in the growth of your money), and that will estimate how many years it will take for your money to double.

As of April 2026, the national average savings rate was about 0.4%. At that rate, money would take roughly 180 YEARS to double and grow! 😳

As of May 2026, the average rate for credit card accounts being charged interest was about 21.5%. At that rate, majority of people's DEBT could DOUBLE in just over 3 years. 🫠

That is a major difference between your money having very little growth and debt compounding against you.

The lesson is not that savings accounts are bad. The lesson is that “safe” should not only mean stable. It should also include protecting your purchasing power, reducing high-interest debt, and making sure your money is positioned for the job you need it to do. 🤗

Understanding the Rule of 72 is a simple but powerful step toward making more informed financial decisions.

Green Carpet Day for Women - 1PM-4PM ET, March 20, 2026 Green Carpet Day for Women is a women-led, open-to-all experience designed to prepare you for the $124 trillion wealth transfer already underway. As more women step…

Our vision is to see a world where everyone is financially literate and has access to the tools and support they need to create a better life for themselves and their families. We believe this is possible, but we need your help to overcome two major obstacles.

Scarcity of Financial Education: There is both a void of effective material and a lack of trained educators. This prevents the vast majority from learning the financial concepts and strategies they need to know.

The Financial Industry Itself: The traditional financial industry isn't trying to help, since a financially illiterate society is easily taken advantage of by those who know how to leverage the ignorance and foolishness of others to construct their own wealth.

To combat these two forces, our team of educators must reach critical mass. With thousands of leaders aligned with our vision nationwide, we have the momentum to make a major impact on financial literacy statistics.

The Next Milestone is adding 10,000+ licensed agents. At critical mass, our expanding team of educators will run daily financial literacy classes all across America, creating a surge of education that will begin to elevate national statistics on financial literacy.
