Emmet Savage, CEO of Rubicoin, discusses the platform that seeks to teach and get more people investing. He also talks about a new survey conducted by the company that finds millennials have high levels of financial anxiety.
According to results, millennials are weighed down by low incomes and the stress of paying back student loans, which makes it hard for them to save. Rubicoin has two different apps: "learn" and "invest." The first teaches consumers how to save and answer questions they might have around the practice while "invest" helps get them started.
