As a financial news reporter, she sees a crisis brewing in America.“We are in an economic crisis because so few of us know the basics about how to manage our financial lives as adults. Americans want to get better at paying attention to—and managing—their money, but with a lack of financial literacy education and information overload thanks to the internet, it has become a daunting and overwhelming task. We need to make financial education accessible, compelling and inviting so we can finally start acting like financial grownups,” she says.It was important to her that her book be accessible to readers. “I wrote How to Be a Financial Grownup specifically as a book people would actually read.
