    Wealthy Habits

     

    Why is financial literacy for our children important?

    Imagine how life would be different if we had learned at an early age how to manage money wisely and invest it for the future.

    Our next generation of adults (18- to 34-year-olds) are more likely to be less financially capable than our previous generations, with 23% spending more than their household income, 68% not having three months of expenses saved in case of an emergency, 34% engaging in expensive, non-bank borrowing, and averaging only 2.6 correct out of 5 questions covering concepts of economics and finance expressed in everyday life.   Nearly 44% of Americans don’t have enough savings or other liquid assets to stay out of poverty for more than three months if they lose their income. Almost a third have no savings accounts at all.

    Wealthy Habits offers a free 3-day program that will touch on those important basics 101 concepts but will also cover the importance of preparing for their fast approaching adult responsibilities and the problems associated with bad debt and irresponsible money management.
