In today’s episode, we are joined by personal finance expert and author Robin Taub, who sheds light on how Canadian youth are navigating the current investing landscape.  She explores the importance of teaching young people about budgeting, finances, and investing from an early age, and how key barriers, such as a lack of financial literacy might be affecting them. Robin also dives into the impacts of inflation and how its affecting young Canadians. She also highlights the 5 pillars of money and what these mean for young investors, and later discusses how managing day-to-day expenses, especially rent, is a significant struggle for this group. Robin touches on the differences between how men and women save, how families are helping their children financially, and the broader benefits of financial literacy for Canadians.
