Welcome to Lesson 1 of Generations University. In this foundational lesson, you'll learn one of the biggest reasons people struggle financially—not because they don't earn enough, but because they unknowingly allow "money leaks" to drain their resources. In this class, you'll learn how to: - Identify hidden expenses that quietly steal your wealth - Evaluate the true cost of your spending habits - Redirect your money toward financial freedom - Develop a stewardship mindset rooted in wisdom and intentionality - Begin building a legacy instead of living paycheck to paycheck This isn't about guilt or deprivation. It's about becoming a better steward of what you've been entrusted with and making every dollar work toward your future. Today's Assignment 1. Watch the full lesson. 2.

Honest Question. What is the biggest thing currently holding you back from becoming the person God has called you to be? Is it financial pressure? Lack of discipline? Fear of failure? Inconsistency? Lack of clarity? Time management? Something else? Be honest. I’m building Generations University to provide real solutions to real problems, not just more information. Share your answer below. The more specific you are, the better I can serve this community and create trainings that address what you’re actually facing.
