Course description

This course unpacks the hidden ways generational wealth shapes opportunity, success, and even personal identity—often leaving people feeling like they’re falling short when in reality the playing field was never equal. It explains how narratives around “hard work” and “merit” are frequently used to mask the advantages of inherited money, family safety nets, and access to elite networks. By exposing these dynamics, the course helps you recognize when you’re being gaslit into believing financial struggles are purely personal failings. Through clear examples and analysis, you’ll see how housing, education, and career opportunities are dramatically influenced by wealth passed down from previous generations. The content also explores how media and cultural messaging glorify self-made success while minimizing the invisible support systems behind many high achievers. At the same time, this course offers constructive tools for those without a financial cushion. You’ll learn strategies for building resilience, creating realistic financial goals, and finding alternative paths to stability and growth. Rather than comparing yourself to people with inherited advantages, you’ll gain a framework to define success on your own terms. By the end, you’ll walk away with a sharper perspective on money, class, and opportunity—and a renewed sense of agency in navigating your financial future.
