JP, I laughed at the Ice Cube drop. But your question made me think.

I came from dirt-floor poor. My children won't. So doing better than me cannot simply mean having more.

I want them whole. Men and women of principle who know right from wrong. Who see those with less and understand that opportunity carries responsibility. Work for what matters. Earn what they have. Help when they can. Pass it forward.

Money can be spent. I want the values behind it to survive me.

That is the torch I want to pass. πŸ”₯

I’m glad you found it funny. Our daughter sure didn’t back in the day! 🀣 This gets right to it. Doing better than we did can’t just mean leaving them more money. Passing down the values behind how we lived matters a whole lot more. Appreciate this, my friend. πŸ”₯
