Financial literacy is a basic life skill and a need to know – now more than ever. One in 5 teenage students lack basic financial literacy skills, data from the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) showed. How can it be that Americans live in a capitalist society and understand little about personal finance? It is not taught in most schools or at home. Some employers take the opportunity during pre-retirement planning… By then persons are middle age and are least likely prepared to handle the enormous info they receive at retirement. Only 17 states require personal finance courses, it maybe many teachers are ill-equipped to teach personal finance.
