You wouldn’t send your child out into a blizzard without a coat. So why let them navigate adulthood without the vital skills to manage money matters and face life’s biggest challenges?
The reality is stark: the majority of students leave high school without the basic financial acumen, leading to long-term problems such as job insecurity, relationship issues, and even mental health challenges. Financial literacy is not just about understanding money; it’s about securing a happy, stable future.
The facts speak for themselves
