Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz: Power of creating financial accessibility

Charles Schwab Foundation’s president is dedicated to financial literacy.

“Financial literacy is an equalizer. It levels the paying field for everybody. So if we have everybody learning personal finance in schools, then no matter what we look like, no matter our background, it give us the option and comfort to go into our industry.”

“It teaches numeracy, it teaches the technical components of saving and investing, but it also teaches responsibility and discipline. So many aspects of financial literacy are life skills.”
