Why Financial Literacy Is Way More Important Than You Think

Isn’t it obvious? Apparently not—since you’re here, probably financially illiterate and reading this piece of text.

You see, the most important thing the education system conveniently forgets to teach you is how to manage your finances and keep them in good health. In today’s world, almost everyone has to work hard to provide for themselves, just like you. We all work to survive, to thrive. And we get paid, sometimes by our bosses, sometimes by our clients…

Then, suddenly, shit hits the fan. Wait a minute—how? Everything seemed fine just a moment ago…

When you receive the money you’ve earned, it means you now have a sum at your disposal—but chances are, you have no idea what to do with it. Since childhood, you’ve been conditioned to think of money as something to spend in order to get what you need. So when you have extra cash, you don’t know how to handle it.

You probably have friends who claim to know how to manage money, constantly giving you advice; advice that often sounds too good to be true. And that’s because it is. They’re financially illiterate too; the difference is, you at least recognize it, while they don’t. So why are you listening to them?

Since you are here, it is safe to assume that you already know you should set some money aside, an emergency fund, like insurance. You also know you need a solid retirement plan because, eventually, you won’t be able to work and provide for yourself. And let’s not forget the looming crises, waiting on the horizon… Even if you diligently save, your money can disappear overnight if you invest recklessly—or even unknowingly.

And so, here you are. Trying to navigate the chaos of the modern world, drowning in a sea of misinformation. Trying to grow your wealth while battling inflation. Trying to make smart financial choices, but there’s too much noise. How do you separate the good choice from the bad?

No worries. Not anymore.

As you strive to protect and grow your wealth on the road to financial freedom, the Financial Literacy Newsletter, along with the Financial Literacy Directory, is here to help you understand how the financial world works and how to make better financial decisions.

Don’t get me wrong, this newsletter and directory won’t be giving you financial advice. That’s not their purpose.

• To equip you with the knowledge needed to make the best financial decisions for yourself.

• To keep you informed about major strategic and economic developments across the globe.
