(DALLAS-FT. WORTH, TX) April is Financial Literacy Month and Texas Retirement Specialists will be featuring broadcasts regarding financial learning on their weekly radio program, Found Money Radio. 2016 marks the fifth year that Texas Retirement Specialists has produced a financial literacy series on Found Money Radio. The program is broadcast Saturdays at 10AM on KRLD Radio and Saturdays at 2PM on WBAP Radio. Britni Levensailor, VP of Texas Retirement Specialists, called the financial literacy segments an important initiative. She added, “Each year during Financial Literacy Month we air special radio segments on what it means to be financially literate. A big part of our focus is on financial literacy for young people. We also talk about financial education and literacy for adults too.”
Alan Maples, retirement planner at Texas Retirement Specialists, commented on the importance of early education when it comes to money. He said, “We recommend starting financial education at a young age. As soon as kids are old enough to count to 25, it’s not too early to get them used to earning, saving and handling money. Parents also need to remember that their kids are observing their every money move. So as parents display habits and attitudes toward money, their kids are absorbing their actions.”
Pete Thomson, CEO of McQ Media and co-host of Found Money Radio, commented on the financial literacy broadcasts. He said, “April Financial Literacy Month is a big deal on Found Money Radio. And since our program covers the entire 360 degree of retirement and financial planning, segments about learning financial skills are definitely in our wheelhouse. I’m proud of the effort that Jim Poe and his team make in this area. It is a great example of a company giving back to the community.”
Texas Retirement Specialists has supported financial education for adults through a series of workshops being presented at colleges throughout DFW. Commenting on the workshops, Levensailor said, “Financial literacy is important whether your 8 or 80. At Texas Retirement Specialists, we’re excited to help teach the principles of money and financial success to all ages.”
