📱 FinTok Makes Investing Look Easy, but Is It Putting Investors at Risk?

Peter Richon ·
April 4, 2026

Social media platforms like TikTok are changing how people learn about money, but not always for the better. According to the FINRA Investor Education Foundation, 25% of adults now turn to social media for investing advice, and that number jumps to 61% for people age 35 and under. In this interview, Peter with Richon Planning and Erin Kennedy break down why short, viral money tips can oversimplify risk and blur the line between education and advertising. Keep in mind, building wealth and disciplined investing rarely isn’t all that exciting; it’s built on discipline, diversification, and time. 🎯 If you (or your kids) are getting financial advice from social feeds, and you’d like to talk to a real human who understands your unique goals and risk tolerance, please call Peter at (919) 300-5886 or visit www.RichonPlanning.com
