Despite being an essential skill for adulthood, only around half of American adults are considered financially literate. Benjamin Talks Co-Founders Carissa Jordan and Nikki Boulukos are on a mission to change this by outfitting the next generation with tools, resources, and habits that support proper money management. On this episode of Celebrations Chatter, Carissa, Nikki, and Jim discuss why financial literacy is so important, share methods that teach children fiscal responsibility, and give advice for parents on how to approach savings, allowances, charity, and more.
