We’re all watching the headlines. Costs are shifting. Systems feel unstable. And for many families, the pressure is already real. Mansa puts it plainly. The global financial system we’ve known for decades is changing, and it’s not going back to business as usual. Still, this isn’t a message of fear. It’s a call to wisdom.
