Why WE Care
Each chapter starts with a "why should I care" section to help people understand why we are covering this topic. Below is why WE care about promoting financial literacy and education.
As parents and educators, we are amazed by how little personal finance is taught when it is absolutely the one topic EVERYONE needs. This program is available to all ages. Money problems are a leading cause of stress and depression. Our goal is to enable real people to learn how to build wealth and avoid costly mistakes in their financial lives which will have a direct impact on the rest of their lives.
Just because kids get great grades in school...
It doesn't mean they will know how to do any of this when they enter the real world!
You can only be "smart" about personal finance if you are exposed to personal finance!
As financial professionals, we know the importance of financial literacy. Studies have shown that young people who understand the fundamentals of personal finance are more likely to become financially secure adults. Saving early and avoiding debt can have profound impact on a person's life.
-
We are offering this program to high schools and homeschoolers and other youth groups such as scouts and non-profit youth organizations.
-
An Adult version of the program is available for employees of businesses who want to educate their employees as a perk (including discussing the companies 401k)
-
Non-profit groups looking to education their adult population.
-
Online group classes are also available for individual students in groups of ten or more.
As a BONUS, any high school that buys our program to teach themsevles will receive a training workshop for all teachers at that school AND a Parent/PTA workshop. It is our strongest belief that the more the adults in our students' lives know, the more financially literate our students will be.
So let's get started and welcome your kids to REALLIFE!
