Why Financial Literacy Matters to Athletes
What excites me most about learning about money is the idea of having more control over my future. I want to feel confident making decisions, whether that’s saving for something big, investing, or just not stressing about unexpected expenses. It’s also cool to think about how small habits can really add up over time.
