Financial literacy - Season 1/Episode 2

In this episode, we start our discussion on the most common pitfalls that we all encounter when it comes to managing our money. I’ve dedicated the entire episode to one of the biggest pitfalls there is – financial illiteracy. https://nudgingfinancialbehaviour.podbean.com/e/financial-literacy-episode-2-season-1/ To help you get to grips with the topic, I chat to certified financial planner Wynand Gouws. He works for the award-winning Gradidge Mahura Investments. It’s great to get his perspective on just how pervasive financial illiteracy really is. He works with clients from a wide range of different backgrounds and education levels – and many of them struggle with understanding the basic concepts of financial literacy.
