Why should we teach financial education to kids?
Everyone deals with finances and money throughout their lives yet this critical life skill isn’t taught in school. When so much of what we do depends on this skill we NEED to teach it as early as possible. Research indicates children start developing habits as young as five years old. Why not start them off developing good financial habits?
Here are a few financial literacy facts that show why financial education is so important.
- Two in five adults give themselves a C, D, or F on their knowledge of personal finance.
- 56% of adults admit that they do not have a budget
- Over 1/3rd of Americans do not pay their bills on time
- The average adult has over $15,000 in credit card debt
- The average student has over $32,000 in debt
- 2/3rd of Americans are currently living paycheck to paycheck
- Most adults have less than $500 in savings

What ages is this best suited for?
Our financial education curriculum starts at Kindergarten and our 3+ can be used with learners up to middle school, depending on the child.

Yes! A multiple learner household will only need one Instructors Guide, and a workbook for each learner. The chapter concepts are the same across all levels, so you can have all your learners work together as they move through the curriculum.

The language is suitable for all ages, but we do carry curriculum especially for older learners now. Beyond Personal Finance Teen Course
Do you have a daily recommendation for lessons/pages or just let the learners go at it for however long it holds their interest that day?
We recommend no more than 2 or 3 lessons per week depending on the age of the learner, but no less than one per week because they may suffer a learning loss between lessons.
What is the format of this? Will it require a lot of printing?
There is no printing requirement, the workbook and instructor’s guide come pre-printed. It saves on cost, and we use a US-based, Eco-Friendly printer for all our printed materials.
