Do you know what a 401K is? How about a 529? Or a 403B?  If you know what these investment accounts are, we bet you didn’t learn about them in school. Because financial literacy- at even a basic level- is conspicuously left out of the curriculum in most K-12 programs. Our guests today from Benjamin Talks- two former Goldman Sachs employees and moms- are here to make sure all families are financial fit and literate.
