There are several different topics that
00:00:02
people need to get better educated
00:00:05
about. One is they fail to budget. They
00:00:08
don't track their
00:00:10
finances. Also, they pay too many
00:00:12
overdraft fees for credit cards and
00:00:14
credit card interest. And they spend too
00:00:17
much on luxuries. On top of which,
00:00:21
there's increasing scams online and
00:00:24
identity theft. So all of these are
00:00:27
things that I believe people could avoid
00:00:31
and protect against if they were more
00:00:33
financially literate.
