Financial Literacy:

April is Financial Literacy Month, wherein we encourage Americans to create and maintain healthy financial habits. The only problem is, depending on your source for financial education, you can go down a rabbit hole quickly in the wrong direction.

Not every self-proclaimed financial “expert” delivers best practice information; in other words, generally accepted and researched principles and guidelines. And that means it’s sometimes hard for you to extrapolate what information is right for you. Most of the reputable talking heads deliver solid data, but they also have something to sell. And that can be problematic when what you are learning is sales opinion and not fact.
