In this clip from The Texas Real Estate & Finance Podcast, Mike Mills and Brian Vieaux delve into a pressing issue: the lack of financial education in our education system and its profound impact on individuals' financial literacy. They passionately share personal experiences and keen observations about the absence of financial conversations in their own households. Their frustration with the low level of financial IQ among people is palpable, and they raise thought-provoking questions about why there seems to be such a disconnect.
Throughout the clip, Mike and Brian express their disappointment with the school system for not adequately teaching children about money. Instead, they argue, the focus seems to be on preparing them solely to become employees. This oversight, they believe, contributes to the financial struggles many individuals face later in life.
However, amidst their concerns, Mike and Brian also shed light on a glimmer of hope. They mention that younger generations, like Gen Z, may be better equipped to understand finances due to the economic hardships they have experienced during their formative years. This resilience and firsthand exposure to financial challenges may have inadvertently provided them with a unique perspective on money management.
