A recent study has revealed more than a third of Aussies are financially illiterate, with 43% of 18-to-24-year-olds unable to pay their personal debts. The Barefoot Investor himself, @scottpape, tells us how we can teach our kids how to understand money.

Breaking: Big revision on JobKeeper numbers. Treasury & ATO say a reporting error by around 1,000 businesses, means they can now revise DOWN the number of recipients from 6.5m to 3.5m. JobKeeper now estimated to cost taxpayer $70b instead of $130b.

The @ScottMorrisonMP Govt is failing cash strapped Australians by allowing predatory payday lenders to use #COVID19Aus to drum up business. @JoshFrydenberg must:
🔶 pause payday lending during #Covid_19
🔶 pass the SACC bill and stop the rip offs

Thank you @Stirling_G and @jennymcallister for standing up to protect people from predatory lenders. The inaction from the Federal Government on the crucial SACC reforms has been incredibly disappointing.
