Financial education has its limits – if we want New Zealanders to be better with money, we need to start at home (theconversation.com)

TL:DR Studies on financial education show it helps increase savings rates, but has virtually zero impact on whether someone will default on loans. The article suggests that financial discussions at home are important.

Really though, the article is raising discussion points and doesn't really suggest what actions we should take (that I noticed, anyway).

This was a relatively brief article, at least by their standards.
