YPIN Content Club: Financial Literacy Around the World
April 28th, 2024 6:00PM -8:00PM
What is Content Club? It’s like a book club, but bite-size...and more fun.
In this new YPIN event series, we’ll organize informal gatherings to discuss an everyday topic from a global perspective. We’ll provide content for you to read, watch or listen to before the event (articles, podcasts, videos, Tiktoks, shows, maybe excerpts from a book or two). Take in as much or as little as you can, bring recommendations of your own, and come ready to discuss. At the end, we’ll provide a collection of your recommendations and thoughts so that you can revisit these resources.
This month, we’re discussing financial literacy since April is National Financial Literacy Month! We’re taking a look at how we in the U.S., as well as in other countries, approach acquiring the knowledge and skills needed to manage personal finances effectively and how our society and culture dictate the way we spend and save.
Money is personal and a topic that folks tend to avoid, but the more we talk about it, the better equipped we are to understand how to save, earn, borrow, invest, and protect it.
Join us in a casual discussion sharing personal stories surrounding money, how the United States and other countries around the world approach financial literacy, and some resources that have been helpful in our money journeys!
