How do I do money? This week Accredited Investor Markets Radio interviews Jim Chilton, founder of SOFA USA, in Episode 52. His discussion with host Chris Cahill focuses on the many generations of financial illiteracy perpetuated by the lack of financial curriculum in public schools.  They cover many aspects of the problem from state funded debt to addressing the needs of the youth to student loan choices, home buying and the economy of the university.
