💸 Financial Literacy Blueprint for Teens on Minimum Wage

Goal: Build habits now that turn small checks into big futures.

---

Step 1: Know Your Money

✅ Use a notebook or free app (like Mint or Goodbudget)
✅ Track every dollar you earn & spend
✅ Look for “money leaks” (daily snacks, Uber rides, etc.)

---

Step 2: Create a Simple Budget (50/30/20 Rule)

50% → Needs (bus fare, hygiene, food)

30% → Wants (clothes, entertainment)

20% → Savings & goals

If your needs are lower, save more. Get used to telling your money what to do.

---

Step 3: Build a Starter Emergency Fund

✅ Save $500 as fast as possible
✅ Keep it in a separate account (not Cash App)
✅ This is for real emergencies only—not last-minute nails or snacks

---

Step 4: Learn Every Week

📚 Watch YouTube channels like Graham Stephan, The Budgetnista, or Minority Mindset
📘 Take free courses at:

SmartAboutMoney.org

Coursera.org

MyMoney.gov

💡 Learn one new thing about money every week—just like learning a new TikTok dance.

---

Step 5: Build Credit the Smart Way

✅ Get a secured credit card at 18 (Capital One, Discover)
✅ Use it for small stuff (gas, phone bill)
✅ Pay it in full and on time every month
✅ Monitor credit at AnnualCreditReport.com

---

Step 6: Start Investing Early (Even $25 a Month)

✅ Open a Roth IRA at Vanguard.com
✅ Invest in VTI or VTSAX
✅ Set it and forget it—let time do the work
✅ Don’t touch it unless you’re retired or buying a house

---

Step 7: Avoid Debt Traps

🚫 No payday loans
🚫 No "Buy Now, Pay Later" for shoes
🚫 No cosigning for anyone

If you can’t buy it twice, don’t buy it once.

---

Step 8: Stack More Skills, Stack More Income

💼 Learn:

How to type

Customer service

How to build a resume

Budgeting and basic taxes
📱Use free tools like Khan Academy or Skillshare.com

I Should’ve Left at the First “B*tch”
By LaShay Angelique

I ignored the first “b*tch.”
Brushed it off like lint.
Told myself, “He didn’t mean it.”
Blamed his mama.
Blamed his childhood.
Silenced my intuition
and called it patience.

I ignored the “h*e.”
Ignored the lies.
Believed the stories he told about his baby mama,
while he played victim
and I played savior.

Fast forward four years—
he’s flying down the highway
at 100 miles per hour,
only to stop my car
just to p**s on me
in front of people
who chose silence over justice.

That was the last page.
The end of the fairytale.
No prince.
No redemption arc.
Just a fool exposed in daylight.

I left him forever that day.
No second chances.
No goodbye speech.
No tears.
Just a woman who finally remembered
what the hell she’s worth.

I should’ve left at the first “b*tch.”
But I’m proud I finally did.

Because the version of me who stayed?
She’s gone.
Buried with every excuse I ever made for him.

And the woman who rose in her place?
She doesn’t beg.
She doesn’t flinch.
And she damn sure doesn’t shrink
for any man too small to honor her name.

🧘🏾‍♀️ For Those Born on a Thursday 🌿

The child of Thursday walks with purpose.
Ruled by Jupiter, planet of expansion and truth,
they are often born with wisdom in their bones.

They are the teachers.
The healers.
The ones whose voices echo long after the room is silent.

Their words carry weight.
Their presence brings light.
Their mission? Bigger than the moment.

To be born on a Thursday is to be chosen—
Not by man, but by the cosmic rhythm that placed them here.

📜 This insight comes from ancient Akan tradition (Ghana, West Africa),
where each day of the week births a different kind of soul.
In that belief system, Thursday-borns are called Yaa (feminine) and Yaw (masculine),
known for their boldness, intelligence, and fearless spirit.

If this is you…
Breathe deep.
Stand tall.
And walk your path—it was carved for you in the stars.

When Souls Meet
by the Divine Goddess, LaShay Angelique

Child-bearing hips—
Do you know I’m a freak?
Grip my waist,
Keep the pace,
Make my soul leak.

Not from your meat—
But from your meet.
Be my bookmark,
I’ll be your geek.

But if your only must
Is a lust to bust,
You ain’t even seeing me.

I’m not on your frequency.

I’m expensive, baby—
And expensive is me.

Not money—
Your currents...
That’s my currency.
