College graduates have more than $20,000 in student loan debt and $2,500 in credit card debt upon graduation,
according to a recent study. Increasing financial education and literacy among today’s youth is a critically important issue.
What obligations do parents, educators, and the business community have to prepare young people for the financial
challenges they will face, including the expenses and pitfalls of becoming financially independent? How could young people
be better prepared and taught financial skills? Please include details about ideal age, teaching materials, methods
(classroom vs. hands-on learning, etc.) and providers (parents, teachers, friends, the media, etc.).
