Why is Financial Literacy so Important Right Now?

During these uncertain economic times there is even a greater need to provide practical financial education instruction to today’s youth.

Debt levels are near all time highs for young adultsand this often the leading cause of other problems that people are facing today : foreclosures, bankruptcies and retirement shortages.  Financial Educators are in high demand because:

62% expect of college graduates will have a student loan debt averaging $27,236 (Student Monitor)

40% will never gain a net worth in excess of $10,000 (American Dream Education Campaign)

Less than one-quarter of students and only 20% of parents say students are very well prepared to deal with the financial challenges that await them after graduation. (KeyBank)

“Among 2008 college grad job seekers, 77% moved back home with their parents after graduation.” (CollegeGrad)

Research shows that individuals that have taken personal finance education course have a higher savings rate, higher net worth and make larger contributions to their 401k.  (The Department of the Treasury)
