Value of Financial Literacy: Practical Life Skills & Decisions w/ Wharton Professor Michael Roberts

Michael Roberts, Wharton Professor of Finance, joins host Dan Loney on Wharton Business Daily to talk about teaching financial literacy to children in school as a life skill, which becomes only more relevant by the student loan debt crisis. He shares that two major financial barriers for people with their personal finance is the complex language and acronyms and comfort and familiarity. Roberts talks about legislators helping ensure that teachers are able to be trained in financial education. Lastly, he shares how early financial savings can compound in large savings in the long-run and that one bad decision does not have to make or break someone financially.
