In an inspirational gathering at the Jamaica National Group’s Corporate Office, the Tivoli Gardens Football Club players received empowering insights into financial discipline. As part of a motivational session hosted by JN Money, the footballers were encouraged to adopt smart money habits that will steer them toward achieving both their on-field and off-field dreams.
Budgeting: The Foundation for Financial Success
Kaye Ricketts, the dynamic sales and relationship manager at JN Bank, shared her wisdom on the importance of budgeting. Emphasizing that a budget guides money management, she quoted Dave Ramsey: “A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.” Ricketts introduced the 80:20 principle, a simple yet effective guideline for dividing earnings into saving and spending portions, inspiring the players to take financial control.
Investing for a Secure Future
Beyond budgeting, the conversation moved to investing - a cornerstone for financial stability. Ricketts advised players to explore various savings and investment options to accelerate their wealth growth. “Your money not only works for you when invested,” she said, “it also grows faster, thereby securing your future.”
Discipline: On and Off the Field
Vassell Reynolds, the renowned coach of Kingston College’s Manning Cup team, underscored the value of discipline and sportsmanship in both sports and financial undertakings. He urged the players to cultivate good habits and character, stating, “Sportsmanship teaches us not just about sports but how to become better human beings.”
JN Money’s Commitment to Growth
In addition to the motivational boost, Cedrica Reid, JN Money’s marketing and sales manager, reinforced the company’s commitment to the Tivoli Gardens FC. By sponsoring and conducting these sessions, JN Money promises continuous support in the team’s journey to dominate the Jamaica Premier League.
Captains of Financial Destiny
The session closed with Keno Simpson, team captain, expressing gratitude toward JN Money and highlighting how the session enriched their understanding of financial independence, aligning it with their ultimate goal of clinching the JPL championship next season.
As stated in Jamaica Gleaner, this blend of football prowess and financial education positions Tivoli Gardens Football Club as champions both on and beyond the field, aiming for victories that are everlasting.
