The 'STFF HOPE PROCESS' is a forward-thinking 'out of the box' Investment solution that changes the current Paradigm. Our goal is to teach and help one citizen, one employee, and one student at a time build a better financial future. We provide a basic fundamental financial literacy knowledge of many concepts of the complex worlds of money, credit, and finance. This would include building 'Paths to Homeownership and Self-Sufficiency'.
It challenges the position that Stimulus checks, tax rebates, and government assistance are the best ways to help struggling citizens in times of rising prices, waves of lay-offs, and inflation. The NFEC conducted a survey that concluded financial illiteracy costs 254 million American adults over $436 billion annually. We must find a way to put all this money back into their pockets enabling them to generate savings, and wealth, and grow their local communities. Statistics state that 69% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, more than likely because they have a lack of or inadequate financial literacy knowledge. In these challenging times inflation, high credit card debt, and shrink-flation people are really struggling financially. American credit card debt has reached over $1.13 trillion and $120 billion in interest and fee payments. This creates enormous amounts of financial stress in their lives and causes many health concerns.
Only 57% of Americans have basic financial literacy and over 60% are living paycheck to paycheck, not to mention those living in poverty creating unique financial challenges. With today's high inflation and never-ending rising prices, their money is being stretched to the limit creating more food and housing insecurities. The current economy is making it difficult for them to pay rising rental costs and is putting folks behind on their mortgage payments causing many of them to go into foreclosure. Whatever the governments and people are doing isn't working, the current system is broken. Our solution's goal is to raise the financial literacy IQ of all Americans within the next four years. This will help them put this $436 billion annually back into their pockets to pay off student loans, bank accounts, and communities, ending food, housing, and financial insecurities. This is a perfect model for and the epitome of Trickle-Up-Economics.
This NFEC data and rising prices present citizens with many unique financial challenges. Without adequate financial knowledge, how can they ever overcome their enormous debt to become successful? We all know politicians can't control prices; therefore, we need to try something different that would reduce the need to continue to raise the Debt Ceiling and would receive Bipartisan support. Our solution offers governments a unique opportunity to change the Paradigm and invest in cultivating a more financially literate citizen base providing adequate financial knowledge to achieve their dreams. At the same time, it will uplift them, give them 'HOPE', and motivate millions of citizens of ‘Underserved’ Communities to build better sustainable financial futures for themselves and their families.
Politicians continue to debate whether college education should be free for all citizens. Many students can't afford to attend colleges or post-high school trade programs and not everyone has plans to attend college. Our Solution gives them options they may not have thought existed for them. If they are thinking about going to college, having the knowledge of how to repay their student loans before deciding to take out student loans will definitely encourage them to pursue that college education to fulfill their dreams.
