Financial literacy is a hot topic these days. In particular, the lack of financial literacy. Mr. MMM and I are no exceptions with having very little in the way of formal education regarding money. In this episode, we discuss how we learned to handle our money by living life.
Mr. MMM and I both had a single financial class over the course of our formal education. Mine was in middle school and Mr. MMM’s was in college. Both courses were mandatory and neither one taught us what we needed to be successful in managing money, but it was more than most people get, and for that, we’re thankful.
