# Are you Financially Literate?

By: [Victoria Krauchunas](mailto:victoria@getfinal.com) on 30 August 2017

Sometimes, team bonding looks a little different at a FinTech company. Recently, we came across [WalletHub’s](https://wallethub.com/) great [WalletLiteracy quiz](https://wallethub.com/wallet-literacy-score/) and thought it might be fun to take it and compare our scores. Here’s what we found:

### Company Average: B+

Our company average was a 78.7, which is a B+ according to the scale listed here. It turns out that, while we’re rockstars at credit cards, we need some brushing up on a few other areas of financial literacy.

### Strongest Categories

Credit cards, of course! It turns out working at a credit card company will give you a pretty good working knowledge of cards. We also did fairly well on investment behavior and student loans.

### Weakest Categories

Car insurance and mortgages. This may simply be a stage of life thing - many of us don’t own cars or homes (yet!). Of course, our VP of Finance had no weak categories - he got a 100%!

### Resources

Now that we know our weaknesses, we’ve started to look for some resources to become more well rounded. Here are a few we love:

- [WalletHub](https://wallethub.com/), of course! They have an extensive set of resources, including [Key Terms to Know](https://wallethub.com/glossary/terms/home-loans/) and [Basics Guides](https://wallethub.com/edu/mortgage-basics/138/).
- [The Acorns Blog](https://grow.acorns.com/) \- While their blog covers a wide variety of topics, you won’t want to miss [Money 101](https://grow.acorns.com/money-101), which includes awesome self-evaluations like [35 Money Questions You Should Be Able to Answer By 35](https://grow.acorns.com/35-money-questions-you-should-be-able-to-answer-by-35/).
- [Millennial Money](http://podcast.millennialmoney.com/) \- An accessible podcast, covering topics ranging from [IRA Conversion Ladders](http://podcast.millennialmoney.com/e/181-mad-cash-ira-conversion-ladder/) to [Smart Ways to Spend While Traveling](http://podcast.millennialmoney.com/e/189-smart-ways-to-spend-when-traveling/).
