Michael John Rayford M.A. CCP shares insights with me on understanding how money works. Surprisingly, Illinois high schools do not mandate personal finance classes for graduation. It's crucial to equip our youth with financial literacy skills early on. #FinancialLiteracy #Education #MoneyManagement

Just wrapped up a presentation on Building Resilience through Money Management 💰to the EOP freshman at California State University, Northridge. Many students showed their gratitude towards Premier America Credit Union and said they would be stopping by to check out the branch. In this presentation, I asked the students to discuss their thoughts about this question with their group. The consensus was, yes, you can budget your way out of financial problems. Do you agree, or disagree? Share your thoughts below 👇 #financialeducation #collegestudents #resliencethroughmoneymanagement

Imagine a future where every high school diploma comes with financial mastery. That's our vision at Subject. 🚀 Here's a startling truth: only 25 states mandate a personal finance course for high school graduation. This oversight leaves a staggering 80% of Americans wishing they'd been given the tools to manage their finances effectively from a younger age. This gap doesn't just affect individual choices; it shapes futures. At Subject, we're changing that narrative. Financial literacy isn't just a skill; it's the foundation of a secure future. Our program empowers students to navigate financial complexities with confidence, turning regret into resilience. 🌟💼 #k12 #financialliteracyforkids #financialliteracymatters

The importance of financial education cannot be overstated. In an era where financial complexity is ever-increasing, it is so important that we lay the foundation for financial literacy at an early age. Through initiatives like the "Your Money Matters" textbook, we are making strides toward this goal, but there is still much work to be done. It is essential that teachers receive the backing they need to integrate high-quality financial education into their curriculum. This is why organisations like Young Enterprise UK is so crucial in creating an environment where every young person has the opportunity to learn and thrive financially by preparing the next generation for the financial challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
