Financial literacy in America just hit a 10-year low, and the timing could not be worse. With inflation squeezing budgets, credit card debt at record highs, and retirement falling on workers’ own shoulders, the average American is being asked to make harder money decisions with less knowledge than at any point in the past decade. In this video, we break down the new data behind the financial literacy crisis, what Americans actually got wrong on basic money questions, and why the gap between what people know and what the economy demands keeps widening. We also look at who this hurts the most, how it compounds into debt, missed investing years, and shaky retirements, and what actually works to close the gap. If money decisions feel harder than they used to, this video explains why.

1. If most Americans can’t answer basic money questions, how much of the debt crisis is really about income versus knowledge?
2. Why is financial literacy falling at the exact moment the economy demands more of it?
3. Who benefits from an America that doesn’t understand how money works?

A Singaporean retired at 35 and now spends just S$150 a month. How did he make it work?

After losing his job 20 years ago at 35, Colin Lau built a retirement plan centred on reducing his cost of living to the minimum.

He bought a flat in full, generates income through rent and insurance payouts, and keeps monthly expenses to about S$150.

From housing decisions to daily spending, his approach focuses on maintaining financial stability without a paycheque while preparing for future healthcare and living costs.

This is not financial advice. The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We explain the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research. We really encourage that because no one cares more about your money than you and if you learn the basics then it will change your life.
