When the Youngest and Most Qualified Do Nothing, Everyone Pays
🎓 Highly Educated. Deeply Passive.
Our community is full of young professionals – engineers, accountants, project managers, consultants. People with MBAs, CPAs, and PMP certifications. People who lead complex teams, manage multi-million-dollar budgets, and solve tough problems every day at work.
And yet, when it comes to their own homes, their own money, their own property values… silence.
💸 You’re Watching Your Investment Bleed
This board has:
- Spent hundreds of thousands on legal battles we didn’t authorize.
- Buried us in fees while property values decline.
- Withheld information we have a legal right to see.
And what do the “future leaders” of this community do? Scroll past. Shrug. Tell themselves, “Someone else will handle it.”
⚠️ Apathy Has a Price
Here’s the uncomfortable truth:
- Every time you ignore a meeting notice, you hand the board more power.
- Every time you “stay out of it,” you approve their decisions by default.
- Every time you tell yourself “it’s not my problem,” you make it everyone’s problem.
The reason mismanagement thrives isn’t because the board is brilliant – it’s because too many qualified people refuse to act.
🗣️ Silence Isn’t Neutral – It’s a Choice
The board counts on this. They count on you being too busy, too tired, too indifferent to challenge them. They know apathy works in their favour.
But here’s the reality:
- We can demand transparency.
- We can challenge reckless spending.
- We can replace directors who fail us.
We just have to show up. Speak up. Care enough.
🔔 Your Credentials Don’t Matter if You Don’t Use Them
It’s not enough to be smart, successful, or “too busy.” If you can analyze KPIs at work, you can read a budget here. If you can lead a team, you can ask a question in a meeting. If you can negotiate contracts, you can challenge a special assessment.
Because if you don’t? You’re choosing to let others decide your financial future.
📢 Call to Action
Stop waiting for someone else to fix it. That “someone else” is you.
The next town hall isn’t just a meeting – it’s a referendum on whether we still care about this community, our money, and our rights.
Show up. Speak up. Or keep watching your investment erode while doing nothing.
