The importance of financial literacy in today's economic climate is worthy of the profession's time and talent in my opinion. Programming partnerships may provide a cost-effective first step in public and academic libraries. I also visualize an opportunity to increase financial literacy for teen through some type of financial literacy portal. Thank you for the refresher!

Thanks for such a thoughtful (and readable!) article. I especially like your comparison to libraries and librarianship to explain investments and other concepts. I think you're right in that we librarians generally aren't great with personal finance. At least, I haven't seen much or heard much discussion of it in professional circles and publications. Does it come back to the nature of our profession, to serve and assist others? In any case, kudos to you and thanks for kicking my butt in gear.
