“After #FinancialEducation is required, my research has largely found that credit outcomes improve, and debt outcomes improve as well. That means credit scores go up, and students are less likely to miss payments.” - Dr. @Carly_Urban of @montanastate. bit.ly/47UMeW5
Exactly! With #FinancialEducation young people can make informed financial decisions.
"Many adults gained those skills through sometimes-expensive mistakes. That’s part of learning. It doesn’t have to be that way, though, & efforts to help students gain the basic skills to avoid learning the hard way are well worth it."
