Importance of Financial Literacy ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
How costly is financial illiteracy Many people do not understand the concept of “Universal Default Rate” Many people do not understand that the cost of the insurance for a car or house is tied to their FICO* scores * Insurance companies have their own FICO model 53% of people who took a multiple choice investing quiz didn’t know that total return was the best measure of a mutual fund’s performance More than 80% of consumers don’t understand that interest begins to accrue from the date of purchase on accounts with outstanding balances Nearly 80% of consumers do not know how the grace period on a credit card works. Only 8% of people who invested in the stock market knew that there’s no “insurance” against fraud in your portfolio  Fewer than one in four adults can explain what a municipal bond is. Less than 10 percent of American adults understand a 401(K) well enough to explain it to someone else. One of every two marriages in America ends in divorce.  Studies show that financial disagreement is one of the leading causes of discord 20% of baby boomers are saving adequately for retirement and one quarter of adults between 35 and 54 have not even  begun  to save for retirement
