Are you educating your teens about money? If not, who is?

One of the most important steps to build wealth or accomplish any major money goal is to have at least a basic foundation of financial literacy. The question is, where do you get that education? Some states are stepping in to make sure the next generation is equipped to navigate the world with a solid understanding of credit, debt, budgeting, investing and more. As of this year, 18 states guarantee some form of personal finance education before students graduate, according to Next Gen Personal Finance (NGPF), a nonprofit that provides educational resources and advocates for financial literacy in schools. As of March 2023, about 24% of students go to schools that uphold the “gold standard” of personal finance, according to NGPF. If yours is not a high school offering required personal finance education, you will want to supplement their education another way. One possibility is Financially Independent Teens, a story-based approach to financial education for teens and their parents.


Our books Raising Financially Independent Children and Financially Independent Teens both discuss how to teach children about budgeting and making choices.
