Studies show a significant mismatch between what people say they know and what they do know”(p. 15). This is probably not surprising when we consider the complexity of the financial world.How do we currently build our knowledge? From where do we get our information?ASIC’s research (p. 29) indicates that the top five delivery channels for receiving financial information were:the internet (38%)books on finance (15%)newspaper or magazine articles (14%)television/radio advertising (8%); andpersonal face-to-face contact (7%).Is it therefore surprising that we do not know as much as we think we know. The most effective way to learn is through face-to-face interaction yet it is the least used option. While there is convenience and flexibility through the more popular channels, how reliable is the information provided here, what biases sit behind those channels and is it educationally developmental. There is much to consider from such research. How do you want your children to learn financial life skills? Financial education is good for the student and the community.
