​Financial Literacy Directly Impacts Strength of US Economy

​America is suffering from a silent financial crisis. In recent years our economy has become increasingly unstable and our country’s economic future, daunting. It’s affecting American children, women, minorities, families, you, us... everyone. The American Dream has turned into a bit of nightmare as Baby Boomers approach retirement unprepared, Gen X struggles with extensive consumer credit card debt and Millennials suffer from the shackles of massive college loans. What these symptoms signify is a financial illiteracy epidemic.

Lack of financial literacy at an individual level affects us all at a national level. Successful and financially stable citizens make for a successful and stable economy. The best way to build a better tomorrow is to start educating people today.
