YOUR FINANCIAL EDUCATION HAS BEEN NEGLECTED BY PARENTS, SCHOOLS AND SOCIETY
BUT IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT
Our leaders simply neglect to teach you how to navigate and thrive in today’s complex financial world. Your parents probably never learned how to properly teach you about these critical life skills either.
As a nation, we spend about two dollars per person, per year on financial education

WITHOUT EDUCATION, YOU ARE AT A PAINFUL DISADVANTAGE
The Financial Services industry and the Financial Elite know far more than most people understand about financial products and concepts and can use this knowledge to their advantage, and your disadvantage.
In the U.S. economy, billions of dollars are spent on financial industry marketing efforts. About 25 times more than is spent on financial education
