Financial Literacy

Andrew Smith
Students tend to have too many 'wants' without a true understanding of how to get their or the value of money.  I think students also witness a lot of 'credit' or 'debit' swipes which I think can devalue earning and saving money.  Swiping a card makes purchasing the things you want look 'easy'.  Financial literacy will help students set goals and see the true cost of their 'wants' if they save compared to purchase on credit.
