Are You A Financial Expert?

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is currently running a study on the financial savviness of the US population.  While a majority of people feel they have a good grasp of financial topics, the study shows that is not actually the case.

Below are a few of the study highlights:

• 1 in 5 people are spending more than they earn
• 1 in 2 people pay their credit card balances in full every month
• 2 in 5 people can pass a basic financial literacy test (answering at least 4 of 5 questions correctly)
