Advocating for Financially Savvy Future Generations

Send us a Text Message.

Have you ever been struck by a story that changed the way you view finances? The National Financial Educators Council's Vince Shorb shares his journey and the profound influence figures like Sister Maria had on his advocacy for financial wellness. Underscoring the importance of early savings and compound interest, Vince guides us through the intricacies of financial literacy. It is through his anecdotes that we are able to see how mentorship impacts individual lives and, in turn, inspires societal development.

Our conversation with Vince examines the stagnant state of financial education in our schools. Our classrooms cling to outdated curricula despite advances in technology and a changing world. As a result of institutional inertia and a system that is resistant to change, we investigate the challenges that prevent our educational content from evolving. For the youth of tomorrow, financial literacy, career education, and entrepreneurship are key pillars of education reform.

Finally, we talk about our efforts with 'United for Financial Literacy' to create a financially literate future. Our goal is monumental: equipping the next generation with financial literacy tools. In addition to provoking thought, Vince leaves us with practical resources and ideas for fostering financial literacy. This episode is an essential listen for anyone who is passionate about preparing our youth for the world.
