Why do we memorize the recorder but never learn how money actually works? Using a lighthearted comedy clip as a springboard, Glenn Johnson unpacks why basic financial education is missing from school—and how that gap creates unnecessary fear and embarrassment around money. Glenn explains why not knowing the “simple stuff” is common, why asking questions matters, and how breaking finances down into plain language can bring clarity. The conversation reframes financial confusion as normal, personal responsibility as empowering, and understanding the system as a path toward confidence and peace of mind.
Tune into Glenn on Saturdays on WXLM from 12–1 p.m. and WJJF from 7:30–8 a.m. for more insights that go beyond the balance sheet.
