Compliment a stranger or reach out to a loved one. You may do more good than you think #TEDTalks
Humans aren’t just social — we’re ultrasocial, wired like bees and ants for deep connection. So what happens when smartphones take over childhood, tablets replace textbooks and AI companies infiltrate our kids’ lives? Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out three principles of technoskepticism — and explains why, two years after sounding the alarm in “The…

“If we can tell a better story about democracy, we can tell a better story about America” #TEDTalks

She shares what she learned trying to convince people to vote against their political party in a recent election and shows why telling a better story about democracy is key…

This speaker took on gerrymandering in her state — and won! #TEDTalks
You don’t need political power to make real change, says activist Katie Fahey. She tells the story of how she led a successful movement in Michigan to end gerrymandering — the practice of drawing district lines to favor one political party — and how it all started with a simple social media post.

You only need to learn plus and minus.
Salary minus expenses = what you have left.
If there is a – before what you have left you have too high expences = buy less.

She’s literally attempting to get access to the people “with money” by talking about it in a TED talk presentation so she can use it as a reference. Please Ted talk put something useful. F****** sad.

why is this woman given the time on a TED stage…. 9+ minutes to state about 30 seconds worth of actually useful info for those lacking the most basic, common sense concerning finances…. the rest was typical social media fluff, and not even entertaining nonsense, just poorly delivered, cringe inducing attempts to make an impact….
this was awful form start to finish…. a million people could watch this, and maybe a few dozen, might get something out of it…. the rest of us only lose 9 minutes (or however long you could bear to watch before exiting) that could have been utilized watching something of actual value …..you can do better TED

I can’t think of a single problem in my life that couldn’t be solved with more money. I’m not financially illiterate. I’m not paid enough. That’s it. And it’s true for most people. I don’t know how this is supposed to help anyone that is actually living paycheck to paycheck.

Nothing can help you if you keep living beyond your means. If you did not even know the basics of personal finance, you had no business working as a trader in an investment house.

Wow I’m just blown away by the number of miserable negative comments on this video. Why’d y’all even watch the video if you didn’t get something out of it? Do you have nothing better to do than complain? Take what you can use from this and leave the rest. Everyone, including you, will be happier.
I found the video worth my time. I’ll take all the help I can get these days.

Just STFU and give everyone liveable wages already. Nobody wants to be lectured by some neolib about the broader populations lack of interest in thrifting for their entire lives.

Good advertisement, however, one actually needs a good tax professional who can meet in person. A good tax professional is the one who shows you different ways to save taxes, not just prepares and files your tax return. Most rich people have good tax professionals. An app with so called trustworthy experts is a joke. Unfortunately, her company is going to tank!

Great job Vivian!!! We truly neglect the power of meaningful financial conversations, stop sleeping on the new age of advisors! Knowledge is power but it has to be put into action.
