Allstate Financial Services representatives Lee Holmes and Ron Williford were invited to speak to youth about financial literacy.
...
Williford stressed how important it was to encourage this kind of knowledge early, such as maintaining credit, making wise investments and "not just walking around with all the bling you can."
"A lot of our youth don't really understand investments," Williford said.
...
"You have kids graduate from high school and can't write a check," said Williford, who speaks to high schools and colleges about financial literacy.
"A lot of people think you have to have a lot of money to start investing," he said.
