Financial illiteracy isn’t just inconvenient — it’s devastating. It means unnecessary debt, missed opportunities, and a lifetime of financial stress that compounds year after year.
57% of Americans are financially illiterate. Student loan debt exceeds $1.3 trillion. One in three adults has no retirement savings. These aren’t statistics — they’re people’s lives.
The root cause isn’t a lack of intelligence or work ethic. It’s that we live in a society that never taught people how money works. Four Gifts Publishing exists to fix that.
