As we head back to school, incorporate financial literacy to the kids in our lives. (rl)
"Personal finance is not typically taught in middle or high school. That is depressing to me because it is so dangerous. A child who is not taught the basics of money management will be a risk of making costly mistakes as a young adult.
These are the kids who borrow way too much for college, rather than choosing an affordable college. And these are kids who end up with high-rate credit card debt, because they didn’t realize who the system worked. Or they are the kids who are thrown off when an unexpected expense –new tires for the car, a health insurance co-pay –strikes and they don’t have emergency fund savings to cover the bill.
Please step up and be the financial educator in chief. Make money part of your parenting/grandparenting."
