What's really interesting about money, is we don't wanna talk about it socially, but we think about it all the time. [ MUSIC ] Right now about 76 % of the country it's their number on things they feel out of control about. The largest cause of divorce in 90 % of marriages fight over money. Even more so right now most 80 % of the country's living paycheck to paycheck. Including 30 % of people who make over $ 100, 000. So the conversation? It's happening. It's just often happening up here. How do you make getting access to financial advice affordable and accessible? I mean, the same way we can, you know, get seamless web. Or order an Uber. How do I make managing my money trusted and easy and, and transparent. [ NOISE ] I was in my 20s when I started LearnVest because there I was, you know, not a lot of money to my name. Young, at the beginning of my career, being like how do I avoid making mistakes? I actually just started asking my best friends and their friends, hey, you know, how did you really know about your personal finances? And I started realizing, a few really big facts about money, which was financial planning. Really in many ways was reserved for people who have millions of dollars. And if you think about it mathematically if your household with income of $ 50, 000 and two kids is actually more critical that you never make a financial mistake. Because you have less dollars to do so. The other big fact that I realize is once you make financial mistakes they're very hard to get out of. Racking up $ 10, 000 of debt. Debt's designed to grow quickly. And so I said, wow, it should just be a totally better model. A transparent platform where you get your own advisor, you get unlimited access to advice. They don't sell any products so they're completely aligned with you, and it's affordable. You know, the beauty of [ UNKNOWN ] was that. Everybody gets it in a second. I'm like, do you have money? Are you worried about it? Where are you getting your financial planning from? Do you wish that you could go ask someone a basic question and really have an adviser on demand who can help you through those crunch times where you're maybe buying a home and having a baby, to those basic times where, hey you got a huge raise and you need to think about what to do to optimize these decisions. Everybody just needs to be armed with good basic facts and good information, and I really believe that we could change the economy here in America. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Watch: What You Need To Know About Personal Finance","description":"How the CEO of Learnvest, Alexa Von Tobel, raised her first $1 Million in 6 months","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/utKkX3lX/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-12-16T20:26:16.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/utKkX3lX.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/utKkX3lX/","duration":"PT2M31S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/utKkX3lX/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
