Why the #NewSchool Curriculum Prioritizes Personal Finance w/ Adam Halpert

“We all need to be prepared for the financial uncertainties that await us in life so that we can have confident, comfortable and secure lives.” - Adam HalpertDid you know that one of Canada’s top universities now offers a course on personal finance? For FREE?!If this is news to you, then get ready for a treat of an episode — @shmoneyhonies, meet @anastasiabarbuzzi's next special guest, @adamhalpert 🎓.Adam’s first foray into the world of finance was working alongside his father and grandfather who had their own business as financial securities advisors. Years later, he began working on @mcgillu's Personal Finance Essentials course, a groundbreaking collaboration with the @globeandmail, funded by @rbc Future Launch.If you’re familiar with $HMONEY’s mission, then you know that we’ve questioned why (for the most part) lessons about personal finance have been left out of school curriculum. Fortunately, Adam and his team @desautelsmcgill believe that there’s a lack of systematized personal finance training out there too.Adam’s resume is impressive and it’s taken him all over the world, from studying at @nasa to serving as a @kiva.org fellow in Uganda, helping to bring financial inclusion to the unbanked poor. But today on the show, he helps Anastasia answer questions ranging from, “Why did we never learn anything about doing taxes or paying bills in school?!” to “Why have gender roles dictated who handles money in relationships for so long?”.For more information on McGill’s Personal Finance Essentials course, click here. To learn more about RBC Future Launch, click here.Visit shmoney.club for a free (!) $HMONEY sticker and join us on…Instagram: @shmoneyradio / @shmoneyhonies for more details on our first giveawayFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shmoneyradioSound credits: Levels by Yung Kartz ($HMONEY theme song - intro/outro music)Edited and produced by Anastasia Barbuzzi, founder and creative director of $HMONEY ($HMONEY Radio).To get acquainted with your host, tap or click HERE.To subscribe to The #SundayScroll ☕, Anastasia’s weekly newsletter, tap or click HERE.To learn more about $HMONEY, visit shmoney.club and join us on...Instagram: @shmoneyradio / @shmoneyhoniesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shmoneyradioSound credits: Levels by Yung Kartz ($HMONEY theme song - intro/outro music)Edited and produced by Anastasia Barbuzzi, founder and creative director of $HMONEY ($HMONEY Radio).
