[0:00] Narrator (Female): There’s a huge problem that affects every one of us, but one we almost never talk about: money. Most Americans can’t answer even the most basic money question, and that means millions of people are facing serious financial issues without knowing how to deal with them. Debt, unexpected expenses, emergencies, and unemployment can hurt families for generations. And even through half of all jobs in the United States are created by companies less than five years old, entrepreneurship has declined by more than fifty percent. Financial illiteracy and fewer entrepreneurs. These are critical problems? What can we do about them?
