When should we teach financial literacy lessons to our kids, and what should we teach them?

What does "financial literacy" really mean?

What are the common financial problems people are facing today?

Why do so few states teach personal finance in public schools?

Today's guest on the Crushing Debt Podcast is Vince Shorb, one of the country's leading advocates for promoting financial wellness and a thought leader in teaching and scaling financial education programming. Vince founded the National Financial Educators Council, an organization dedicated to combating the financial literacy epidemic. Vince's mission is to create a world where people are informed to make qualified financial decisions and confidently take effective financial action that best helps them meet their basic human needs while moving towards fulfilling their personal, family and global community needs.

George and I talk to Vince about his financial journey and the lessons he learned along the way. We answer all of the questions above. Also we talk about the Florida Personal Finance Education Bill, which took effect July 1, 2022.
