Financial stresses create a learning moment
Teens not clued in
The National Financial Educators Council reported that as of January, barely half — 52% — of the high school students passed its teen financial literacy. They’ll probably gain financial smarts as they mature, but only to a point: 78% of those age 51 and older passed the council’s adult quiz. Try it yourself by taking the council’s Financial Foundation quiz, geared for teens, its Advanced Financial Education quiz, and its student loan quiz.
