The High Cost of Financial Illiteracy | Raya Treibicz | TEDxYouth@UTS

Raya takes the time to explore just how ignorant she and most of her teenage peers are towards financial literacy. With reference to her own childhood, historic economic crises, and the current political climate, she warns about the high cost of financial illiteracy, and explains how to best address this issue. Raya Treibicz is wildly curious. When 14 year old Raya isn’t rescuing injured animals, designing jewelry, snorkeling, kayaking, voraciously reading or singing to raise awareness for social issues, she’s a grade 9 student at the University of Toronto Schools. While on a recent shopping excursion, it hit her that she knew virtually nothing about money and finances. That launched a realization of the huge impact of being financially illiterate. She had only to consider her personal family history to recognize that being financially illiterate can lead to some potentially hazardous scenarios. Raya’s vision is that all kids should be exposed to financial literacy starting at a young age. She is a member of her school’s speech and debate society. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
