I think about it a lot -- we know that financial hardship is a huge cause of marital turmoil and divorce. People who do not have financial hardship have more of a shot at cultivating calm environments for their kids to develop. It's a hidden wealth (and sometimes by product of wealth). Great to reflect on it! The brain is very plastic and can be trained to do a lot of things

So happy I subscribed. I was like "I'm not a business person this isn't for me." Wrong LOL. At least some of it is very much for me and actionable, even as a non-business owner or entrepreneur. Kudos on jumping from 7 to 1. Now that's some good tawfiq from Allah.
