Financial Literacy Training: Meeting Financial Developmental Milestones

Olivia and the Army Headquarters Deputy Chief of Staff, G-9’s Financial Education Program Manager, Robyn Mroszczyk, discuss what’s in it for leaders to promote financial literacy and address financial developmental milestones. We take our children in for well-child checkups to ensure physical developmental milestones are met. But what professional will see you or your loved ones to ensure financial milestones are met? Who’s teaching us how to develop our financial muscle to move towards financial independence? (Although the DoD has military-specific milestones, Olivia has outlined Civilian-equivalent milestones below to consider as you or your loved ones are financially developing.) Olivia can be reached at 256-876-6299.
