But is more information and better financial literacy the path to prosperity? So much of what is published in the media about money and wealth focuses on the “features” of money. Blogs, articles, Tik-tok videos and influencers will suggest if you only were somehow smarter about money characteristics, you could live the life of your dreams. And -- hot take from fiduciary advisor Mindy McCubbin, CFP, ChFC, founder and CEO of Truman Wealth Advisors -- financial literacy is great but it is focused on providing information about strategies for increasing the amount of money you have. This is necessary and important in the first half of life, when you are accumulating money. But as successful individuals experience wealth transitions know, having more money doesn't solve all your problems -- it just upgrades them. In fact, McCubbin says, they often find that money problems are not about money at all.
