STYRON’S LESSONS FROM GEORGE WONG’S SERIES – HOLIDAY GIFTS FOR THE KIDS; BUY THE TOY COMPANY, NOT THE TOYS
Disclaimer: Good Day, Readers. WealthBuildingPowers blog is a financial literacy/competency blog and does not provide specific investment recommendations.
EDUCATION
George started this series by discussing his formal and informal education. In addition to his vital university education, he started his first business in high school. After college, he continued his entrepreneurship by acquiring rental properties, both business and residential.
EARNINGS
George and his wife used their earnings to invest in their future, achieving Financial Freedom and GIVING BACK!
SAVINGS
George and his wife contributed to the 401-K and other investments by spending less than they earned.
INVESTMENTS
It is smart to teach your kids about investing by buying them stock. My favorite gift for my daughter and niece – buying them shares of stock!
An added benefit, grow your own financial literacy along with your kids by learning about companies and trends your kids are more familiar with!
FINANCIAL FREEDOM
George achieved his family’s financial freedom with the above actions and strategies and pays it forward with his time, mentoring, and money.
GIVING
This is the factor I most respect about George Wong. In addition to financial giving, he generously gives his time and business experiences and helps small businesses and others within the community. He is a mentor and a role model for many people, including me.
George and his wife helped two sons and five nephews/nieces start their path towards financial literacy. And provided an economic foundation many young people simply do not have. They generously gave both sons a formal and informal business education by modeling their financial literacy and paying for their college education. Mr. and Mrs. Wong are the proud parents of two successful young men!
CONCLUSION – STYRON’S LESSONS FROM GEORGE WONG’S SERIES – HOLIDAY GIFTS FOR THE KIDS; BUY THE TOY COMPANY, NOT THE TOYS
If any questions, please reach out and I will respond or forward to George for a reply.
George is one of my role models. He demonstrates the American dream is possible for those of us willing to do the hard work. Success is NOT easy! The color of your skin, sex, or anything else is only a limiting factor if you allow it to be.

ABOUT ME
I am a proud nerd (as my beautiful wife and daughter have told me) investment and finance blogger with an N.C. State, Chemical Engineering, University Rutgers, MBA and Harvard University, Advanced Management education.
I left a corporate career because I desired to make a difference as a speaker and writer. I was blessed to be coached and mentored by strong women and men in my family and professional life. It is my time to serve and give back.
DISCLAIMER
I started my first business at ~13 years of age (a small but brilliantly created plant nursery). I am a successful investor in stocks, options, real estate and am happy to share my finance and investment lessons. I am NOT a licensed financial advisor. Please do not construe my suggestions on this blog as recommendations for your situation.As an investor, you must establish your risk/loss tolerance. Investment in any asset involves risk, including complete loss.
Please seek your licensed CPA or fiduciary financial advisors for individual financial advice.
I write this weekly blog to make an impact by reaching an audience and demonstrating the need for financial literacy. I will help you get there.
