The Importance of Literacy

The importance of literacy. Many people I know, including myself, suffers due to the lack of education. My family suffers from poverty because they never learn the basics of financial education, what I mean, they are ignorant on how the money works. I hate poverty because they are many things in my life that I need to be doing that I never get done because of the lack of money. This is my decision that whatever bad experience that I have with my family, I will not allow that to be pass on to the my next generation. So recently, I do continue to study the ways of the rich, read books on financial basics, I'm reading books like "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki, and I keep updating myself with something new, anything that would affects my financial health.

Everyone should have the right to an education and at the very least fundamental skills in reading, math and writing.

Dudesme, I admire your attitude for understanding the importance of literacy and actually doing something positive about it for yourself. You will go a long way further than your family because you have the desire and drive to want to do better. You are setting a positive role, and hopefully being an inspiration, for others in your family, and for other people in the same situation. Go Dude!!!
