It’s Time for a Revolution in Financial Education, Feat. Tyrone Ross

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Financial education and financial literacy are at crisis levels in this country. Financial advisers spend billions on advertising but a fraction of that on education. The resources that are available tend to be inaccessible and not designed for the people who need them most. Financial media remains a boring, exclusionary acronym game. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The net result of all of this is a population of Americans who don’t have the mental tools to understand, make sense of and make good decisions around their finances. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this passionate conversation with NLW, financial adviser Tyrone Ross argues that all hope is not lost.
