Getting Financially Literate with Kadri & Sara B

Welcome to another episode of Financially Naked: Stories from the Financial Gym. In honor of Financial Literacy Month, we're diving into financial resources for self-education with Kadri and Sara B! As they say, knowledge is power, but when it comes to financial literacy, the abundance of information out there can often feel overwhelming. That's why it's important to think about your learning style—whether it's visual, auditory, or hands-on—and tailor your educational journey accordingly. In today's episode, we'll explore avenues for learning, from podcasts and books to YouTube videos and social media accounts, ensuring that no matter your learning preference, there's a BFF-approved resource out there for you.
