Ryan White-Stevens shares, “Discussing finances with young people can be life-changing. One or two keys can save years of financial pain. In this seminar, I share essential strategies and wisdom that financial advisors emphasize — credit cards, loans, credit scores, and practical financial guidelines —  life lessons often missing from traditional education.”
