For this podcast, my goal is to better inform consumers about finances and explain the importance of financial education, as financial literacy is becoming a necessary skill in today’s society.
Education is needed in order to combat financial illiteracy, but the applying of such knowledge is more important because there is no point in knowing a skill and not applying it.
Many Americans are blaming the education system for the educational situations across the world.
Although many try to avoid such issue, financial illiteracy is something that needs to be addressed.
In this first segment, I introduce myself (Jonathan Garcia), as well as my goals with this podcast. I explain the essence of financial education and present the factors that tend to lead to poor financial education.
