The Shocking Financial Know-How By Bobby Jain

By Bob Oliver


Ask yourself this question: how much do you truly know about finance, in general? Yes, you may be able to save money effectively and you understand the importance of making frugal purchases so that your bank account doesn't take a tremendous brunt. However, if you were quizzed on a number of financial topics, how well do you think you'd do compared to other people? Here are a couple of shockingly knowledgeable tips that Bobby Jain could bring to your attention and they may just open a few eyes.

According to a story that was posted on Wales Online, there were a number of GSCE-standard questions answered by adults. Keep in mind that these questions are ones that are answered by individuals between the ages of 14 and 16 en route to earning their awards in General Certification of Secondary Education. As a result, it should be fair to assume that adults can answer these types of questions just as well. However, this is one of those times where a particular theory does not exactly translate in education.

A number of 2,000 adults, according to the article, were given these types of questions because of the Open University Business School. There were a few topics that adults were required to focus on, ranging from the levels of income tax that was owed by certain accounts to the amounts of money that these very accounts paid. In any event, a reported average of 41% of these adults could not actually come up with the right answers. This is a point that deserves the attention of many financial authorities, including but not limited to Bob Jain.

It's important to keep in mind that finance is typically linked to adult life but what does it say when many adults cannot answer certain questions? It's possible that the teenagers and young adults who took these GSCE-standard questions are simply more knowledgeable about finance, which should be a comforting fact that Bobby Jain, as well as other financial authorities, can focus on. However, names along the lines of Jain can also see that there are several adults who do not fully understand finance. Perhaps they simply require more assistance.

To say the least, it's important to financial experts to understand this field so that they can help others. Clients may require help and this is where the knowledge of the experts in question can come into play, whether it is determining the money that they owe to certain parties or another subject entirely. Is it possible that classes can be taken in order to give adults a better understanding of this topic? In my view, if adults are willing to learn, they could prove to be especially useful.
