Eric Brotman discusses financial literacy education and how it impacts financial independence and retirement readiness with certified Job and Career Development Coach Jayme Hayes:
- In a lot of cases, young adults and children are uneducated when it comes to financial literacy. It’s important to implement this education both at home and in classrooms.
- The cost of a college education and the big picture of the costs and alternative opportunities.
- Start saving now! Don’t just think about what you should do financially but start early and educate yourself.
