Financial tech tricks for Content Creators (or anyone for that matter)

For close on 7 months I’ve been self employed. It has been pretty damn rad for the most part but it also leads to a host of sleepless nights. Not having a regular “pay check” at the end of each month is freaking terrifying and that terror never gets old.

"Unfortunately I think the biggest problem in financial education right now is that we are not doing enough of it. You know as practitioners were paid to provide a service that is very challenging to actually provide. And to measure the successes of each and every single one of those employees it is almost impossible to do today, so by creating a technology like edu(k)ate, we are truly able to connect to that participant directly to the employer and consultant in the way we've never been able to do before. We are able to measure the successes of each and every one of those participants and create engagement like we've never seen. I think that by tackling the problem we are ultimately going to have more successful participants.

But I think more importantly were going to get more practitioners excited more consultants and insiders are excited about providing education and engaging those participants and creating outcomes that are successful because it is an actual possibility for them now to be able to deliver it. Unlike before where they had to manually go out and he looked every single participant, here they can actually tackle the problem in an efficient manner that is easy to do and fun to engage with."

I'm a firm believer in teaching children personal finance management at an early age. My mom taught my siblings and I how to budget and properly manage our finances even before we landed our first job. I want to give my son the same luxury, and I'm happy there is technology out there to make it easier.

You can create an account for your child to log in at any time and play around with the site. It's an awesome learning tool for them to prepare for the real world when it's really time to set a budget, and spend their money wisely.
