Our story on financial literacy being only half the battle got a lot of play on Twitter. What do you think is necessary to win the other half?

Money and not just the math part needs to be found in our education system.  As long as a high school graduate is unable to predict the consequences and clearly understand the student loan documents they sign….we're going to keep spinning our wheels!

More knowledge is not the answer to financial literacy, it's about having a better understanding of our psychological makeup/conditioning that makes us do the things we do when it comes to money. 

Aristotle put it best – We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit

We need reconditioning through the development of new habits which require action steps, not just knowledge.
