Money and Youth

Welcome! You’ve opened a very valuable book. Whether you are a student, a teacher, or a parent – you’re here because you are interested in a topic important to us all – savings and how to use money wisely. Financial literacy means having the knowledge, skills, and confidence to make responsible financial decisions throughout your life – from how to spend your allowance – to saving for school, travel, or a home – to ultimately retire in comfort. Learning how to manage your finances when you are young helps to become independent and gives you the building blocks to get the most out of life. If you’re a teen looking for some solid money basics, this is a great place to start. Students have told us that, thanks to Money & Youth, they have learned to think about finances differently and feel they can make better financial decisions. If you are a teacher or parent – thank you for helping to empower the next generation. You are making a difference by sharing this resource and starting a conversation that can be life-changing. Finally, thank you to CFEE for their expertise and care in creating this resource. We are proud to support their efforts.
