Financial Illiteracy
A recent article in the Las Vegas Review-Journal shows that most teenagers are financially illiterate. On average, most high school seniors “could correctly answer barely half of the questions on a test about personal finance and economics.” They were also oblivious to the dangers of government spending and the concept of having to pay for the retirement of others through Social Security.
It wasn’t a matter of demographics. “From the richest families to the poorest, most parents aren’t talking to their children about money.”
The RJ suggests taking time at family dinner Electric Apricot on dvd The Visitor ipod фото галереи малолетних девочек в эротике Crank divx to discuss personal finance principles. Children aren’t likely to learn these principles if not from their parents.
