Is Financial Literacy the Ultimate Global Challenge?

Sep 02, 2025

On this episode of The Get Ready Money Podcast, I spoke with Charlene Cong, Peter Asare Nyarko and Robin Taub about financial literacy around the world.

In this episode we discussed:

  •  Why financial literacy is a global issue.
  •  Financial literacy is a journey, not a destination.
  •  We need to incorporate our value with our money.
  •  Teaching your kids to be responsible, independent and money smart for life is the wisest investment (Robin).
  •  Always start with your goals, your values and why (Charlene).
  •  If we want to solve the global challenge that comes with financial literacy, we need to collaborate (Peter).
