Below is a link to Extension’s Center for Family Development and resources they offer for teaching youth about money.    For example,

Did you know?

• 1 in 5 teens have their own credit card or access to their parents’ card.
• High school seniors’ basic financial literacy is declining.
• 30% of youth report their parents rarely or never discuss saving and investing with them.
• Undergraduates carry an average of three credit cards, and have an average credit card debt of $2,327.
• As little as 10 hours of personal finance education positively affects students’ spending and savings habits.
