Avocado Toast = Financial Stress? Demystifying Financial Literacy
1 in 2 Australians are living paycheck to paycheck and 1 in 3 Australians can’t access $500 in an emergency. Avocado Toast isn’t to blame.
Financial illiteracy is a pervasive problem, not only economically, but socially, mentally, and it is affecting us in real life terms every day. The problem is hereditary; it will exacerbate itself and be passed on from generation to generation unless we start to act now.
Fortunately, here is yet another example where technology and innovation can be an enabler for positive change. Today we are lucky to have innovative solutions and financial products coming to market that people can leverage to support their financial wellbeing.
