MOLESKINE: “Comparison is the thief of Joy” – so how about we just stop comparing (ie social media, etc)? Here’s why…
Generational Wealth: Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation will transfer $84.4 trillion in assets by 2045. The top 1.5% of households control 42% of that transfer. Friend of yours always driving the nicer car, bigger house, or better school? Generational wealth is everywhere. So don’t compare…
Nepotism: 9 in 10 people have personally witnessed nepotism influence a hiring decision. 40% of U.S. workers have been hired at a company where a relative already worked. Only 1 in 5 employees believes their workplace is completely free of nepotism. Feel like you’re always smarter than your boss or the execs are doing “better” than you? Well Nepotism is EVERYWHERE. Don’t compare…
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Spring Fling coming up. Date TBD.
COT: Prayers up for Squatter, Half Lyfe family situation, and all those unspoken :pray:
