It is impossible to argue that each of our countries are melting pots of diverse cultures, beliefs, traditions and yes, money quirks. That's the thing makes the world in 2023 so very amazing.
One of the things I've been observing more is how culture and family upbringing affects people and their money. In couples it so often becomes a hot topic, a point of friction, the source of recurring arguments and disagreements.
Sure, we're each unique but how can two people growing up in the same city, or state be so very different.
What diversity and culture can teach us about money
Depending on your age and life experiences it is so easy to think that how we think, our beliefs, practices, thoughts, jobs, businesses are the only way to act or achieve your desires. Yet as more people from the different countries immigrate, and we travel more and more to new countries, we can see the major flaw in that.
We are in the midst of shaking off the shroud of British colonialism, and seeing whole countries reinvent themselves. Free.
But in that, there are generational and cultural traditions that will carry on. Some will prevail, some will be discarded in favour of new ones and some will simply evolve - permutate.
How we value something may change.
The thing that Stand-Up Comedians are spot on about
No-one does it better that those who are unafraid to tackle racial stereotypes, without offending a lot of people. Honestly if we can't laugh at ourselves, we've just gotten to serious, about dumb shit.
It's important to be able to say say, Yup, I do that, and I can totally see how it looks ridiculous to someone else. I'm the first one to say there are days I say dumb things. Days where my parents and money are the brunt of my stories about money.
