Happy Independence Day!

According to the TIAA Institute (www.tiaainstitute.org/publication/millennials-and-money), the majority of American millenials report feeling anxious or stressed about their personal finances, with over one third reporting that they would not be able to come up with $2,000 in a month if they needed to. Financial literacy is a critical skill that too many young people around the world simply do not learn.

This website seeks to assist young people around the world with lifelong learning by explaining complex finance-related topics in simple terms.

We are excited to have you by our side as we begin our journey towards Universal Financial Literacy. . .great things lie ahead!
