Episode Synopsis

What’s the difference between Financial Literacy and Financial Wellness? 
Hosts Jack Burnette and Alison Castellano discuss how financial literacy is understanding budgets, interest rates, credit scores, and insurance, a key first step to being money smart, but is often not enough to achieve true financial security. Financial wellness, on the other hand, is about feeling confident and in control of your financial future, allowing for reduced stress even when unexpected challenges arise.
