Part of the problem is most people don’t talk about personal finances, even at home. And most students don’t receive financial education at school. With no one talking about finances, too many kids wind up learning the hard way.

You can fix this:

• advocate with others to get financial education into your school classroom. Convince your superintendent and principal to include financial education in the curriculum, and
• teach your children about personal finances. Why? Because their financial future depends on their ability to make smart choices with their money. Share these videos with your family and friends and spread the message.
