Financial illiteracy is not an issue unique to any one population. It affects everyone: men and women, young and old, across all racial and socioeconomic lines. No longer can we stand by and ignore this problem. The economic future of the United States depends on it.
– President’s Advisory Council on Financial Literacy
Giving students the keys to financial freedom is one of the greatest gifts educators can give. And as more states incorporate financial literacy into their educational systems, now is the perfect time to introduce students to personal finance.
