Investing in your own financial literacy might be one of the best investments that you can make. If you’re watching my videos I’m probably preaching to the choir, but around two-thirds of adults worldwide are financially illiterate. Even in Canada, one of the most financially literate countries in the world, about a third of the population is financially illiterate. Financial literacy is broadly defined as peoples’ ability to process economic information and make informed decisions about financial planning, wealth accumulation, debt, and pensions.
