Intro: Today we’re going to ask you some questions about personal finance and the ways you might learn about and discuss personal finance topics.
To start off
with, what methods do you typically use to communicate with your
friends and family about anything, not just personal finance?
(Examples: getting together at a cafe, shop, or someone’s
home, talking on the phone, texting, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc.)
Do you keep up with news and
current events on any topic?
-If so, what type of news or
events do you follow?
-What apps or websites do you use to keep
up with news and events?
Now think of the last time you had
to make a personal finance decision. (Examples include a large
purchase, taking out a loan or some type of credit, decisions
relating to a retirement or investment account, etc.) What was the
decision?
Thinking of your most recent
personal finance decision, what information or advice did you use to
make this decision? (Examples: online research, reading brochures or
magazines, talking to friends or family members, getting advice from
an organization like Legal Services or AARP, or talking to a
professional like a financial advisor or banker, etc.) If you did
research, which publications or websites did you use?
What was the outcome of your
personal finance decision?
If you had a magic wand and could
change anything about the help and information you had when making
your personal finance decision, what would you change?
Have you heard of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)? If so, what do you know about the CFPB?
