      Well explain thank you for bringing up this video Financial education is indeed required for more than 80% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject. The value of the US🇺🇲 dollar is declining due to inflation, but it is increasing in comparison to other currencies and commodities such as gold and real estate. I'm worried that rising inflation will cause my 550k in my retirement funds to lose value, But with the help of Mrs Maria I hit 220k this week from my investment of 45k, I am truly grateful for all the knowledge and nuggets you have given me over the past few months🎉

      @@PInk77W1 2000 year of teaching what,the word of GOD? Or the traditions of men? I'm not judging either because I know not what is teached in their Churches, but CHRIST died on the cross and when GOD Almighty ripped that veil from top to bottom to the room of the holy of holies that the priest went into on Passover, GOD said come on in to talk to me after the price was paid, the high priest was not needed anymore to talk to our real FATHER, and we DO NOT need to confess our sins to another priest/man/sinner, only to the highest of most high,GOD himself and we don't have other gods before us, the virgin Mary, she was an important woman, but NOT to be worshipped, so the Catholic church has been using the traditions of men that make void the word of GOD longer for 2000 years, 2000s years of not following the real word of GOD, I wouldn't brag too soon about the traditions of men that started 2000 before any other, and GOD told us to use olive oil for annointing and rebuking evil spirits and for healing, Exodus 30:25-26, not holy water, so you see theres more than 2000 years of not following the REAL word of GOD , and NOONE IS PERFECT, you are reading this from one who is and never had been perfect, but upon repentance from GOD through the precious son, we are forgiven, for there is not a flesh and blood priest, pastor, preacher,r reverend on the earth that can forgive anyone of their sins in consider the words of GOD, not man.
