Financial Literacy provides the ability to live life on your own terms. That was the best advice I ever got. No matter where you go in life, or who you get married to, you have to be financially independent. You don’t know which curve balls life will throw at you. Hence, you need to have the ability to take care of yourself and people whom you love.”
