At Right About Money we believe personal financial capability among all populations is the best way to prevent financial crisis, underpin global economic growth, and secure long-term individual well being. We believe financial education should begin shortly after birth and never end. We believe every government, school district, and employer should be involved. We believe that in an aging society with fewer resources to cushion the unprepared, personal financial responsibility is the best path to long-term financial security and happiness. Founder Dan Kadlec is a 30-year personal finance journalist. As a senior writer at Time magazine, his column on money appeared regularly for more than a decade. He remains a Time contributor and his work also appears in Money magazine. He is a past columnist for USA Today. Dan has three books and numerous other publishing credits. He has appeared on Oprah, Good Morning America and many other programs. As a Bank of Dad blogger for CBS and contributor to Time and Money, he pioneered major media coverage of the financial literacy movement and has been around the world reporting on and speaking about financial education. More than 100 nations have formal programs to raise the financial know-how of their citizens, and thousands of public, private and nonprofit organizations are actively seeking answers. Yet there is little global leadership. Right About Money seeks to help bring the far-flung financial literacy community together through news, opinion, data, and educational forums.
