1st Edition
by Jay Liebowitz (Editor)
Today's graduates should be grounded in the basics of personal finance
and possess the skills and knowledge necessary to make informed
decisions and take responsibility for their own financial well-being.
Faced with an array of complex financial services and sophisticated
products, many graduates lack the knowledge and skills to make rational,
informed decisions on the use of their money and planning for future
events, such as retirement.
This book shows what you can
do to improve financial literacy awareness and education. It covers the
use of interactive games and tutorials, peer-to-peer mentoring, and
financial literacy contests in addition to more formal education. It
gives you a sample of approaches and experiences in the financial
literacy arena. Divided into three parts, the book covers financial
literacy education for grades K–12, college, and post-college.
