The PennyDrops Podcast

By PennyDrops

Statistics show that Canadian students are inadequately prepared to face the financial burdens of the real world. PennyDrops promotes financial literacy to help students make informed financial decisions post-graduation, through conversations about personal experiences with finances. If you’re a student who needs help understanding certain subjects, or if you just want to relate to other students who are in the same situation as you, this podcast is for you!
