Not to be too hard on the speaker, but I suspect many viewers did not get the pay-off for which they clicked on this video. The implication, the promise, seemed to be -- "I will make you more financially savvy, using humor."

So you all are missing the message in search of a laugh? it's called edutainment.
This was a little lacking in substance and humor, but she seems nice.
