Financial Literacy and Fluency in America - Episode 2
from Dress Down Personal Finance · host dressdownpersonalfinance
In this episode, Kevin breaks down the state of financial literacy in America — and the numbers aren't pretty. From a $1.78 trillion student loan crisis and a 12-year high in college graduate (recent) unemployment, to a national financial literacy score that hasn't moved in nine years, Kevin unpacks what we know, what we're missing, and why it matters. He also covers what's actually being taught in K-12 classrooms across the country — and what isn't. As always, Kevin leaves you with something actionable: two honest questions to ask yourself and three concrete steps to start closing your financial knowledge gap. No jargon. No judgment. Just the truth about where America stands — and what you can do about it.
