Disrupt Your Money: Liberation through Financial Education for Marginalized Business Owners Who Gets to Be “High Net Worth”? Redefining Wealth for Our CommunitiesWho decided “high net worth” starts at a certain dollar amount in an investment account, and why do so few of those definitions include us in the picture?In this episode, Meg takes apart the idea of being “high net worth” and asks a bigger, better question instead: what does wealth actually mean for our communities?
