UNIFORM SECURITY ACT
Definition
The Uniform Security Act is model legislation for securities industry regulation at the state level. Each state may adopt the legislation in its entirety or it may adapt it (within limits) to suit its needs.
Why It's Important
The USA, as it is commonly called, protects investors from unethical practices. It also ensures that people that choose to give investment advice are properly registered to do so. In order to register with the state, a potential advisor has to take a licensing exam, pay fees, and submit the relevant paperwork.
Does being registered with the state fully protect investors? Absolutely not! Registered advisors are sometimes subject to disciplinary action. It happens all the time! Your best defense is education! There are resources such as Broker Check that allow you to see what disciplinary actions if any, were enacted on your current or potential advisor.
If you suspect an advisor is...

TYPES OF ENTREPRENEURIAL BUSINESSES
Introduction:
Entrepreneurship isn’t just running a business; rather, it is a name given to anything done with intentions of changing the world. An entrepreneur is a world-changer, an innovator, and an opportunist. Now you might be wondering what entrepreneurship is? Let us explain to you in a little more detail!
Entrepreneurship is launching, developing, and running a business venture along with its financial risk. Such business ventures are valuable for economic development as it allows a country to expand its businesses and resources in the global market.
However, most people perceive entrepreneurship as one dimensional, and they do not think about their various types. Today, we have decided to clear this confusion for you and explain different types of entrepreneurial businesses.

In today’s growing world, it is common to see that more small businesses are running than more prominent companies....
PAYDAY LOANS
Definition
A payday loan is a loan in which a lender gives the borrower a loan, typically under $500, that is due on the borrower's next payday.
Why It's Important
In my opinion, payday loans are a type of predatory lending. They typically have high-interest rates and or fees. These loans are extremely short term (ranging from 1 week to 4 weeks before the balance is due). Most states have limitations on how much creditors can charge in fees. These fees typically range between $10-$30 for every $100 borrowed. Even at the low end, these fees are expensive. Let's look at the numbers. If we had a $15 fee per $100 borrowed, that would equate to an APR of about 400%. It may not seem like the fees are a lot, but they do add up quickly!
Another disheartening point about payday loans is that the borrower is typically stuck in the cycle once they get in. The lenders generally do not check the affordability of the loan. In...
FINANCIAL LITERACY IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY
To manage your finances, a sound, effective and thorough, understanding of finance, we call financial literacy is crucial. People should know how to manage their debts and save money. African Americans play a vital role in the economic establishment of the United States, but in comparison to their white counterparts, they still lag in financial wellness. Financial literacy is one of the main reasons behind this complex gap. Financial literacy and financial wellness are tightly intertwined, especially in African Americans.
One of the latest studies on the Personal Finance Index (P-Fin Index) conducted by GFLEC and TIAA institute provides new insights on Black financial literacy.
There are eight areas on which P-Fin Index study is based:
- Earning
- Consuming
- Insuring
- Saving
- Investing
- Borrowing
- Managing debt
- Comprehending risk and uncertainty
Key Insights:
-
Only 38% of the answers were correct by African Americans compared to 55% of white people.
-

MORTGAGE
Definition
A mortgage is a legal agreement by a bank or other financial institution and a debtor. The financial institution lends money with interest and takes ownership of the property if the debtor defaults. This is a type of secured debt.
Why It's Important
Most people that purchase homes, have to get a mortgage to afford it. In my opinion, mortgages are a form of "good debt" although cash is always king! There are different types of mortgages a borrower can get. For instance, a borrower can get a 30-year conventional loan with a variable interest rate or a 30-year FHA loan with a fixed interest rate. There are many combinations these loans can come in and your best defense is to learn as much as you can before using one to purchase a home. Some of these terms will be covered in the upcoming Wednesday Words of the Week.
Personally, I have a 30-year FHA loan with a fixed Interest rate of 4.25%. I would like to refinance at...
