57: How a SIFMA Foundation Survey has Revealed What Parents Really Want — and What It Means for Financial Education

Today, we're thrilled to welcome back Melanie Mortimer, President of the SIFMA Foundation — the nation’s leader in youth investor and financial education. Melanie holds a Master’s in International Management and an MBA from Aoyama Gakuin University in Tokyo, and a BA in English from Agnes Scott College in Georgia. In this episode, we dive into the findings of a brand-new survey conducted by the SIFMA Foundation on U.S. parents' views about financial education for kids. Melanie shares eye-opening insights, including the surprising statistic that nearly three-quarters of parents would consider moving their child to a different school if it offered financial education! We also discuss: The fact that women often feel less confident than men when it comes to teaching kids about investing (and how we're working to change that!)
