Why is financial literacy important?
Financial literacy is a key component of financial wellness. Consider these facts:
Personal finance is the number one topic of argument within a marriage.
Parents rank teaching financial responsibility to their children near the top of their parenting wish list.
Only a handful of states require high school students to take a personal finance course before graduation.
Poor financial literacy leads to poor decision-making, which leads to poor behavior and therefore limits the household’s ability to reach its financial goals.
Arming yourself with financial literacy is a crucial part of responsible money management and a financially fit life.
