It’s the New Year, and this is my first post from Becoming Financially Savvy, the financial education and wealth creation blog of Butterfly Wealth Creation, for 2011. As such the subject of this article is very dear to my heart. Financial Equality!

Financial equality, in this context, refers to bringing financially stability to individuals from the poorest parts of the world, both here in the western world and developing countries. Financial freedom and financial education is a right for all, and it is amazing what one will do for it and what one can do with it, once they understand it, have it, and implement the core teachings of it.

What a week for the UK! England are through to the last sixteen; although now facing Germany on Sunday! This should make for an entertaining and sentimental game!  C’mon England!
