After 18 years of schooling, Alexa realized she had never had a moment of formal education on personal finance. She quickly found she wasn&rsquo;t alone, as few high schools, colleges, and graduate schools across the nation teach this subject. Alexa searched for reliable financial guidance and consistently came up overwhelmed or disappointed. Thus, the <a href="http://www.learnvest.com/" target="_blank"><b>LearnVest</b></a> mission was born &ndash; to make trusted personal financial information accessible to millions of women.
