By Jim Chilton, CEO and Founder of the Society for Financial Awareness
Editor's Note: This article is Part 4 of a month-long series on financial illiteracy in America. April marks National Financial Literacy Month, and to help raise Americans' financial awareness, SafeMoney.com is teaming up with the Society for Financial Awareness (SOFA), a leading financial literacy non-profit, to spread the word. You can find Part 2, "Want a Comfortable Future Retirement? Start Planning Now," and can read here our dynamic interview with Jim, the CEO and founder of SOFA.
Most of us would agree, as we go through life, we make blunders, mistakes, misjudgments… In short, we all “screw up.” Nothing noteworthy here.
The issue though is, these blunders usually occur from our behavior – the way we are wired. So, when the topic of personal finance, the way we do money, gets discussed, many opinions from many personalities take center stage.
As we have done in the past, Jim Chilton, founder and CEO of SOFA – the Society for Financial Awareness – has been asked to weigh in with us on the very issue of financial blunders and how our behavior sets us up to allow these mistakes to occur.
