Emergency Quarters with Carlos Matias

Welcome to another episode of Financially Naked: Stories from The Financial Gym! Today, we have the pleasure of hosting Carlos, a talented writer and author, who joins us to discuss his new children's book, Emergency Quarters. Inspired by his childhood experiences growing up in Queens, New York, Carlos shares the heartwarming journey of Ernesto, a young boy who learns the value of a quarter in the era of payphones.  

In this episode, we chat about the importance of financial literacy, especially for children, and how Carlos's upbringing in a tight-budget household shaped his understanding of money. We explore the origins of Emergency Quarters, from a celebrated essay in The New York Times to a beloved picture book.
