The Soup of Wall Street

9. College Kids Are Dumb, But Is It Their Fault?

Soup Martinez & Brodrick Lothringer

Why isn’t financial literacy taught more in schools? Social media often gives a distorted view of taxes and wealth, and in this episode of The Soup of Wall Street, we share stories like a high school class that only used Dave Ramsey's pre-recorded lessons, which just goes to show the need for better financial education.

We also look at Dave Ramsey's famous seven-step financial plan. From his start in church halls to becoming a popular radio personality, we discuss his methods and whether or not they’re madness.

We also talk about the practice of tithing in religious communities and just how huge some of these organizations are. And to cap it all off, the age old phrase…“Kids these days… .” Join us for a discussion on the importance of understanding personal finance and the impact of social media.
