passe dans son tordeur une quarantaine de sujets avec perspicacité et humour, cette question toute simple invite à revoir toutes les décisions qui ont un effet direct sur notre compte de banque. Au Québec, l'analphabétisme financier et la consommation à outrance influent négativement sur l'existence de chacun. Pour aider à voir les choses d'un oeil neuf, En as-tu vraiment besoin? place un miroir réaliste devant nos choix de vie et leurs conséquences.
