Pulling the Most Powerful Money Levers w/ Professor Kristen Carioti #1043

Pulling the Most Powerful Money Levers w/ Professor Kristen Carioti #1043

Author: iHeartPodcasts October 1, 2025 Duration: 55:03

Our guest today says, “you can’t transform the world if you’re living paycheck to paycheck.” We couldn’t agree more! And money literacy is at the heart of avoiding that fate. Not only did Professor Kristen Carioti literally write the personal finance textbook, but she also found a way to make personal finance classes a requirement at her school, Mount Mary University. Kristen is boots on the ground, teaching the next generation how to think about and handle their finances effectively. We discuss:

  • Students are eager to learn about personal finance, indicating a demand for a money education
  • Building good money habits early can lead to long-term financial success
  • Budgeting should be viewed as a plan rather than a restriction
  • Trade-offs in financial decisions are often overlooked by young adults
  • Financial tools should be chosen based on individual needs and effectiveness
  • And plenty more!
