Send us a textThis episode of "MSG Presents: Eric On Money" features a conversation between Eric McLoyd and his homie Scott. The discussion revolves around financial literacy, challenging the stereotype that certain races inherently have more financial knowledge. Scott, a white man from a working-class background in Chicago, shares how he lacked financial education growing up and had to learn about money management the hard way.He talks about accumulating debt during college and early adulthood and eventually gaining financial literacy through self-education, working with a financial advisor, and staying curious about economics and finance. The conversation highlights that financial knowledge often correlates more with class and access to resources rather than race. Scott emphasizes the importance of actively seeking financial education, questioning assumptions, and using trusted sources to build a solid financial foundation.The episode aims to challenge myths about racial differences in financial literacy and stresses the need for persistence, humility, and ongoing learning in personal finance.

They are considered role models when it comes to relationships, business, and life. They are seen as a unit—a package deal.Traits of power couples:1-Prioritize Teamwork (work together well)2-Individually Strong3-Mutually Protective (each other's biggest fan and it shows)4-Clearly communicate around successes (openly negotiate who will be more successful at any given time)5-You speak each other's love languages6-Publicly viewed as successful7-Have receipts to back up your successMEET OUR GUESTS:Rio Watkins is a PowermateTM Relationship Strategist and Matchmaker, Executive Trainer, Transformational Speaker, and Coach, and 2X Best Selling Author.

A man who has had a vasectomy still makes semen and is able to ejaculate. But the semen doesn't contain sperm. The testosterone level and all other male sex traits stays the same. For most men, the ability to have an erection is unchanged.How common are vasectomies? About 50 million men have had a vasectomy — approximately 5% of all married men of reproductive age. More than 500,000 men elect to have vasectomies every year in the U.S.Vasectomy is a form of male birth control that cuts the supply of sperm to your semen. It's done by cutting and sealing the tubes that carry sperm. Vasectomy has a low risk of problems and can usually be performed in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia.Overall, vasectomies are very safe, and most people don't have any problems. But all medical procedures have some possible risks. The most common risk with a vasectomy is infection, but those are usually minor and treatable with antibiotics. You may also have some pain, bleeding, bruising, or swelling after the procedure. Read more about vasectomy safety.While some health insurance plans may cover a vasectomy, the procedure is not considered an essential health benefit under the Affordable Care Act.A vasectomy typically costs about $1,000 out of pocket but may be a better bargain than other forms of birth control for you or your partner.If you like thought provoking conversations about Money, Sex from Generation X subscribe to our YOUTUBE channel-just type in MONEY SEX GEN X.

Are we currently in a recession? Are you thriving or just surviving?A recession can be defined as a sustained period of weak or negative growth in real GDP (output) that is accompanied by a significant rise in the unemployment rate.Gross domestic product is a monetary measure of the market value of all the final goods and services produced and sold in a specific time period by countries. Due to its complex and subjective nature this measure is often revised before being considered a reliable indicator.During a recession, unemployment rates go up because companies start cutting their workforce in order to handle the challenges of decreased spending from consumers. The employment market turns bleak — there's less hiring, more layoffs and fewer financial incentives offered to current employees, like bonuses and raises.Follow MSG on IG @https://www.instagram.com/moneysexgenx/Subscribe to us on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8ZPj-9gwrEMiNpglZnzaywFollow MSG on IG @https://www.instagram.com/moneysexgenx/Subscribe to us on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8ZPj-9gwrEMiNpglZnzayw
What is Financial Imposter Syndrome?-What are Money Blocks?-Where does Financial Imposter Come From?-How does it show up in Black people?
Do you deal with colorism?** Discrimination based on skin or hair color, also known as colorism, or shadeism, is a form of prejudice and/or discrimination in which people who share similar ethnic traits or perceived race are treated differently based on the social implications that come with the cultural meanings that are attached to skin color.** European imperialists are often blamed for bringing the "lighter skin is righter" mentality to indigenes of colonized lands in Africa and Asia. Critics of this mental colonization don't always acknowledge in the same breath that many North African and Asian cultures had placed a premium on light skin PRIOR to European exposure. Indian folk songs praised the beautiful woman who has "the color of butter" (Indian butter is white, not yellow). Pre-colonial Indonesian women used plant-based skin treatments to make their complexion pale.“Color Struck” is an old saying among African-Americans that refers to individuals who believe that a lighter complexion and European features represent the epitome of beauty and desirability. Past research indicates that marriage is less common among darker skin women (Bodenhorn 2006). In particular, Hamilton et al. (2009), in a study of 329 young black women found that light skin tone was associated with approximately a 15 % greater probability of marriage.Researchers have examined colorism—or the preference for lighter skin over darker skin—primarily as it pertained to women, but little research existed regarding men.Skin color is one device for assigning people to a racial category. Race is the social meaning attributed to that category. It is a set of beliefs or assumptions about individuals falling within a particular racial group.For merchandise please shop https://www.shopmoneysexgenx.com/the-money-sex-genx-shop.To discover more new music, go to http://www.poolofmusic.com
