coffee-and-financesThe financial well-being of older adults is a complex, multi-faceted topic, with issues ranging from retirement plans and affordable housing to estate planning and financial abuse. In this Coffee Break, Kristin discussed an important aspect of financial well-being in older adults: financial literacy.

Listen now to the Coffee Break from January 6, 2017.  Use this handout to follow along:  Old Age and the Decline in Financial Literacy (It summarizes what is covered and highlights questions for group discussion.)

A recent study reported that as American age, their financial literacy declines…but their confidence in making financial decisions does not. Kristin discusses this article and what this information means for the families in our communities. She also shared resources that may help families in these situations.
