In this first week of Finance for Everyone: Decisions, we have begun to explore the financial systems that surround us and our communities, and which connect us to people all over the world.
Reflect on your learning and engagement thus far. What are the takeaway messages that have resonated with you? Are there local or global issues that are newly grabbing your interest with your growing understanding of the broader context of finance? Perhaps at this stage you have more questions than answers. That’s okay! There are many individuals in your communities and around the world with similar questions.
Regardless of your key insights, we encourage you to share them online in your social networks. Post your key learnings, insights, and/or opinions to your learning portfolio or twitter (and make sure to use the hashtag #F4E in your tweets)! You are free to choose the subject of your learning portfolio blog post or tweet; this way, you can focus on topics that catch your interest the most.
Below, submit the link to the tweet or post you’ve written this week, and please go back to the discussion post from this week and add it in there as well!
Answer:
The takeaway messages that have resonated with me are that I have to think like the owners. Everyone is a stakeholder of something but individual thoughts might not be able to influence decision makers. So it’s important to think like the decision makers. Also, I like the idea that there are only 2 kinds of money, my money and your money. It makes the money world sound so much simpler and clearer.
The local issue that grabs my interest is about small banks are gaining a bigger share of the Dutch mortgage market. The global issue that grabs my interest is about Britain’s LSE delivers ‘defining’ $27 billion Refinitiv deal in data drive.
