Celebrating MLK’s Financial Dream
Beat BLUE Monday and Get Your Finances Back to BLACK
HONORING MLK DAY THROUGH FINANCIAL EDUCATION
Although Martin Luther King Jr. is best known for his “I Have A Dream” speech, economics and eliminating poverty were at the forefront of his platform. Teaching financial education is a great way to honor Dr. King’s legacy. He believed that the fastest way to uplift people from poverty is to teach them how to save, budget, and promote healthy spending habits.
A Day of Learning: 5 Financial Lessons from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Persevere. MLK Jr.’s life was filled with many trials but he never gave up. What we can learn from Dr. King is that your mindset is everything.
Build with intention. No one ever reached their goals living frivolously.
Live MLK’s Legacy and Avoid Money Mistakes
In his sermons, MLK taught many important lessons about money. Why not base your New Year’s Resolution on MLK’s legacy of financial wellness? The beginning of the year is the perfect timing to get a fresh financial start, revisit money management decisions and correct some of the mistakes that we often make.

WHAT IS BLUE MONDAY?
Blue Monday falls on the third Monday in January and this year, it will take place on Monday the 15th. But how is it possible that so much sadness falls on a particular day? This is attributed to a mathematical formula that takes into account factors such as:
- The weather: it is quite cold in many regions.
- Post-Christmas debt: January is always an uphill struggle.
- Mental conflict: Fulfilling New Year’s resolutions.
This concept was devised by psychologist Cliff Arnal who also associated it with the color blue, a color that is emotionally identified with lack of interest, demotivation, and apathy. However, instead of succumbing to sadness, we can find an inexhaustible source of joy and rejuvenation in managing our mental health, while practicing better money management techniques.
