A community I consider myself to be a part of is the financial literacy and investment community. I am very into investments and constantly checking the stock market for earnings calls and different news that is important to the markets. I define this community as a community that is searching for financial freedom and constantly finding ways to make money and the best places to save money. I believe the community is described as forward looking by people in the community. This is important because a lot of finance and investment is forward looking. When you look to the future you find opportunities that others may overlook. I would say that in terms of outsiders of the group the group is divided into people that make smart investments and people that don’t make good investments. It is also seen by outsiders as very complicated to start investing but this is far from the truth. Everyone is on their own journey with financial literacy and investments, everyone has different situations in their life that make it possible for them to invest or not possible for them to invest at times. Starting is the hardest part. Once you put in a little and you consistently do it you will be surprised by how much your money grows.The word community is very broad and has subdivisions. When you have one community there are always subdivisions, everyone is a part of the community and people tend to divide to others that have similarities with them. For example if you are enrolled in a school you are a part of this school community however you do not talk to everyone. Typically people have their own group of friends that now form a tighter community. Community is a broad word that is used to categorize a group of people.I personally do not use the word at all but I understand that it is very broad, and communities have groups inside of them. Community does not work for some people in the investment and finance community because some believe their methods are better than others and would not want to be grouped with everyone. I believe no matter how much you make or how successful you are in investing you are a part of the community. The word community in general is very broad. I do not believe you can categorize a group of people. Simply because people in a certain “community” may not believe that they are a part of that community. If everyone agrees they identify as being a part of that community then they are a community. The investment and financial literacy community is broad and extensive. The amount of people that have different ideas for their definition of financial literacy and the best investment strategy is very apparent. While it is a community it is obvious to see that people in a community may not agree with each other causing them to think that they are not a part of that community. This shows that the word community is broad and can not be used to categorize people, when people pick a specific community then they are in that community. Also an important note is that when communities there are communities that are closer. And this is seen throughout life that while there may be a large community people in a community tend to be a lot closer to some people then others.
