024 - Filling the Financial Literacy Knowledge Gap with Alan Chen

Today, Mike and Melissa chat about mindset and the awareness of money beliefs and where they stem from.  They also explore the ever growing issue of the financial literacy gap and how students can better prepare themselves for their financial future, with special guest Alan Chen.    

Alan Chen graduated from Baruch College in 2017 and set out to improve his financial literacy after landing a full-time job after graduation.  He became something of an armchair expert from everything from Roth IRAs to mutual funds, etc. and to share his knowledge, he created a blog TomoonFund.com, hosting free seminars and webinars for Baruch students and recent graduates.  He hopes his blog and workshops will help fill the financial-literacy knowledge gap he believes is too prevalent in U.S. education, especially for individuals from low income families.
