Offering a good financial education to children is by far one of the most important education that they can have. One of the purpose for gaining a good academic education is to be able to get a good paying job. Well what’s the use in earning a good income if you are financially illiterate.

Would love a summer Moving Out program for teens, maybe over a weekend for those of us who live out of town but love your programs & information. Thank you!

Thanks Jim. It’s amazing to me, also, how most people who are in ‘financial literacy’ have no idea, or very little, how to make financial education programs work. Thanks for your comments! Elisabeth

Excellent article! I have worked with people and money for over 20 years and it is astounding to me how uninformed and unskilled many are about the principles of money. You need not look too far to see the damage of poor financial knowledge and habits as evidenced by out of control spending and borrowing habits of Americans and worse yet, those whom we elected to govern. Think of $15 trillion in US debt. That is financial illiteracy at its most profound manifestation.
As Elizabeth has so well-defined, it is our kids that must learn at every level that you someday we will run out of someone else’s
money…Teaching financial literacy is the key to the future!

Right on target about teaching entrepreneurship…making rather than taking a job.
