Upgrade your financial knowledge
Tackling both financial illiteracy and the limiting beliefs young people hold about money.
European surveys show that young adults have amongst the lowest levels of financial literacy. This is reflected in a general inability to choose the right financial products and often a lack of interest in sound financial planning. Other than a lack of financial literacy, many people have a fear of money — it is often believed that being rich means being a bad person, or that money is a source of evil. On the other hand there is a widespread myth that money is an exclusive condition for accessing an amazing education, starting a business or travelling the world. Limiting beliefs create a lot of obstacles to a prosperous life. We set out to show that one does not need a lot of money to have a great education, travel the world, or establish a company — and to talk about what it means to be mentally rich.
