What is the goal of the fef?
The ultimate goal of the FEF is the absolute and unconditional obliteration of Financial Illiteracy from the deepest reaches of the earth! It may seem strange that this would be the hill we choose to die on but imagine a time, if you will, where humanity has known nothing but brief moments of peace. Fleeting wisps of time shattered by decades upon decades of war, pestilence, and famine. Over and over since before the literal creation of WRITING have we been chasing this tail. All of it, exacerbated, if not outright caused by the deep misunderstanding of what we wield. Our collective ignorance of the most powerful tool we've ever created has become alchemized into a weapon. A double edged sword. And now we're using that sword to slice our own throats. Our job at the FEF is to raise awareness on this subject. Think of it as advocating for weapon safety. The FEF, using everything at our disposal, will broadcast this message loud and clear to anyone who will listen. The battle against financial illiteracy must be won if we're to have any hope of survival. We have faith that this will work. We have faith in you. Become a member of the FEF. Join us in victory over financial illiteracy. All in, we win!
Why I Created the FEF?
As the saying goes "the best time to start was yesterday but today will have to do!" It really is a race with time after all. But this race isn't a sprint its a marathon. We have no Idea how long we can maintain our pace. On the night of December 24th, Christmas Eve of 2023 I checked into an emergency room with severe back pains. I was diagnosed with appendicitis. I was scheduled for surgery on Christmas day. I recovered quickly and went home later that day. Soon after they performed a biopsy on my appendix and found it tested positive for cancer. Out of an abundance of caution it was decided I should have a second surgery a few weeks later to remove a small section of my colon where the appendix was located. After a two day recovery from a much more invasive procedure I was released and soon after began a very mild pill form of chemotherapy. Followed up by dietary and lifestyle changes. Its been a year since then and I am cancer free...for now. I don't know how long I can keep up the pace. I have no children to leave behind to pick up my baton once I fall. Yet, In spite of those things I would like to leave this world just a little nicer than when I came into it. And for all its failings, I love humanity deeply. We are miracles yearning to be free, to live, to love, to seek, to know, ad infinitum. Please consider joining the F.L.F. before we run out of time. Together, let's fight for our right to financial literacy. All in, we win! Cheers. Christopher Hays
