Financial Literacy Month: Understanding Economic Abuse

April is Financial Literacy Month and there are so many areas to delve into but this week we'll be addressing financial or economic abuse and exploitation of the elderly. My guest and podcast sponsor Emily Hickox of Budget Through Life shares valuable information and reminds us of the importance of getting involved with and understanding finances in our household and learning about our credit so we can have control over our personal finances. We talk specifically about forms of financial abuse in relationships and about exploitation of the elderly that is rampant in the form of many ongoing scams today.
