7: Young and financially illiterate

Whether it’s Juggling one or more jobs, student loans, establishing 

independence, renting or buying a home, economic uncertainty and a 

changing socio-economic landscape, young adults have to focus their 

attention on many more simultaneous distractions than previous 

generations. It’s no wonder financial literacy is not a strong suit 

among many of them, especially when it’s not something that is not 

taught in many schools or households. In this episode, Skooled begins 

to tackle the issue of financial literacy among young adults and 

exactly what that looks like for today’s younger generations.
