Helping Clients Build Wealth Starts with Financial Literacy

Financial literacy isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a crucial skill that can impact every aspect of a person’s life, from managing debt to building wealth. Yet, studies show that many Americans struggle with financial knowledge, leading to costly mistakes and missed opportunities.

As a financial professional, you have the opportunity to bridge this knowledge gap and help clients make informed decisions about their money. But how can you effectively engage and educate your audience, especially during Financial Literacy Month in April? At 1847Financial, we provide the tools and support to help financial professionals connect with their clients, grow their business, and build financial confidence in their communities.

The Financial Literacy Gap: A Growing Concern
Financial literacy levels in the U.S. remain alarmingly low. Consider these statistics:

  • According to the 2023 TIAA Institute-GFLEC Personal Finance Index, only 48% of U.S. adults correctly answered basic financial literacy questions.
  • The National Financial Educators Council found that poor financial literacy cost Americans over $400 billion in 2023 due to poor financial decisions.
  • The FINRA Investor Education Foundation reports that nearly two-thirds of Americans can’t pass a basic financial literacy test, demonstrating a widespread need for financial education.

These numbers underscore the importance of financial professionals in helping clients navigate financial challenges. Without guidance, many individuals struggle to manage debt, plan for retirement, and make sound investment decisions. That’s where you come in.

How Financial Professionals Can Make an Impact
Being a financial professional isn’t just about managing assets—it’s about educating clients so they can take control of their financial future. Here are a few ways you can support clients during Financial Literacy Month and beyond:

  1. Start the Conversation – Many clients don’t realize what they don’t know. By proactively engaging them in conversations about budgeting, saving, and investing, you can help them become more financially empowered.
  2. Offer Educational Resources – Providing clients with articles, videos, and real-life case studies can make financial concepts more accessible.
  3. Leverage Digital Tools – Social media, email marketing, and short video content can help reach a wider audience and spread awareness about financial literacy.

At 1847Financial, we recognize that client education is key to your success, which is why we provide financial professionals with pre-approved video scripts, email templates, and social media content to help you easily connect with clients during Financial Literacy Month.
