Research shows that the majority of Americans are financially illiterate, meaning they lack the skills necessary to manage their money wisely.1 Whether it’s how much you should be putting away each month for retirement or whether you can afford that jacket you’ve had your eye on, financial literacy encompasses it all. It also implies ideas like going bankrupt, investing in a 401(k), and price increases. Financial illiteracy is especially pervasive in impoverished and minority communities.
The key to living well, though, is mastering your financial situation. Everyone needs to know how to handle money, whether travelling, saving for retirement, or just buying groceries. Fortunately, there are a plethora of financial professionals that can make even the most sophisticated financial complications sound as elementary as 2+2. You can begin repairing your financial situation with their assistance. To get started, pick any one of the following five books on personal finance.
