WHAT'S OUR WHY?
WHAT'S OUR WHY?
TO CLOSE THE FINANCIAL DISPARITY/POVERTY GAP FOR URBAN AND POVERTY STRICKEN COMMUNITIES THROUGH LITERACY
According to the National Center for Education Statistics the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIACC) defines literacy as "the ability to understand, evaluate, use and engage with written texts to participate in society, to achieve one's goals, and to develop one's knowledge and potential" (p. 61, OECD 2013). Using the data from the PIACC, this Data Point summarizes the number of U.S, adults with low levels of English literacy and describes how they differ by nativity status* and race and/ethnicity.
1 in 5 U.S. adults (21%) has difficulty completing tasks that require comparing and contrasting information, paraphrasing, or making low-level inferences--literacy skills at level 2 or above in the PIACC (OECD 2013).
*Nativity status refers to whether the respondent was born in the United States or born outside the United States.
This translates into 43.0 million U.S. adults who possess low literacy skills: 26.5 million at level 1 and 8.4 million below level 1, while 8.2 million could not participate due to a language barrier or cognitive or physical inability to be interviewed. Adults classified as below level 1 may be considered functionally illiterate in English: i.e., unable to successfully determine the meaning of sentences, read relatively short texts to locate a single piece of information, or complete simple forms (OECD 2013). What does this mean for financial literacy? An even more astounding impact! Know Your Worth was founded specifically to offer FREE financial literacy educational tools and resources designed to make a positive impact in urban and impoverished communities
to empower Financial Freedom, Fidelity and create more Self-Sufficient future members of society.

THE SCIENCE OF FINANCE
THE SCIENCE OF FINANCE
Science by definition simply means Everything known to exist in the universe, on this planet, and even life itself can be broken down to 92 naturally-occurring elements, the basic building blocks of everything. Of the 92 naturally occurring elements, eight are known as the “noble metals”. The elemental particles making up these eight elements are organized in a manner that makes them un reactive with air, or “immortal” as pure elements. Put differently, the oxygen, carbon dioxide, and gases that make up our air have no tarnishing effect on these elements through the life cycles of humans. Of the eight noble metals, only four became broadly employed as commodities: gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. Of the four, gold is the rarest on earth and visually discernible due to its color and purity. Click below to read more...

LEARNING THE VALUE OF LIQUID VS. NON-LIQUID ASSETS
LEARNING THE VALUE OF LIQUID VS. NON-LIQUID ASSETS
A business or person can own many valuable assets. But as the expression goes, cash is still king....for NOW at least. A company may generate billions of dollars in revenue, but if it can't generate liquid cash, it will struggle. An individual might own multiple properties or prized artwork, but in a financial emergency, they’ll depend on liquid assets to stay afloat. KYW supports the arts! We find that access to the arts, literature and music is proven to boost the power of learning especially in areas of both literacy and knowledge retention ultimately supporting freedom of truth in expression for a much brighter future. Gaining a full comprehension of the value store of art and 'Liquid Vs. Non-Liquid Assets' is key to financial literacy! Click the link below to read more...
