What was the money talk when you were growing up?
How do you discuss money with your spouse or partner?
Financial illiteracy is killing America.
Reference:
Financial illiteracy is killing America article
My Response to the above article:
I enjoyed the article. Financial illiteracy is a problem. Have we been dumbed down by technology? Are we producing generations of drooling zombies via TV? Has the intellectual financial backbone of this country become arthritic?
I’ve been an ambassador for financial literacy since 2006. Thank you for taking the fight to your readers and telling them in no uncertain terms ignorance is the problem. I’m very disappointed the bottom of the first page of the article says “sponsored by Visa.”
The last page of your article refers to people as “consumers.” This word means to use up or destroy. Do we believe we’ll never have enough?
Once we realize our happiness and source of life is within ourselves and not in what we can buy with worthless, paper debt instruments (dollars), we’ll once again rise up individually and as a people and discover our true power is within.
Action:
Start a conversation about money at home.
Listen to money talk at work, church, etc.
Personal finance education starts with you.
Ignorance just means lack of knowledge and can be remedied.
