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