What Suzanne Powell could say on
Personal Finance and Retirement:

However, some people believe that it is simply too late for any plan to be effective or beneficial. While it is better to start preparing for your retirement years early in your adult years, starting now is better than never making any preparations. These are some areas you can resolve to address soon.

Last year we saw prices increase sharply in the area of energy and goods (especially gas and used cars). Supply chain issues also caused price increases in various goods while consumer demands for these goods remain high. Today, inflation is climbing at anxiety-producing levels. We see the effects everywhere: at the gas pumps, in the stores, with interest rates, etc. However, there are some things we can do to offset these financially unsettling times.

What Chris Janeway can say in an interview about
Financial Literacy:

* Financial Literacy Gaps at Home & School. There’s a combination of multiple issues in the marketplace for financial literacy. First and foremost, most adults aren’t taught any form of financial literacy through either their schools or their parents at home when they were younger.

Along with that, we run into an issue of competing priorities. As we age we’re in the midst of our careers, raising families, and all of the busyness that life can bring. Taking the extra time to increase our financial knowledge often goes to the bottom of the pile.
