Learning Personal Finance
Rosemarie Arroliga Noguera
Even though finance is part of our everyday lives, there has been a lack of financial literacy in the U.S. for decades. Currently, most of the country's population is not prepared to make sound financial decisions. As our educational system does not require personal finance as part of the curriculum in most states, parents or caregivers have become the primary source of financial education. Parents can struggle to transmit the right financial habits to their children, continuing the cycle of financial illiteracy. This interactive book/website serves as a guideline for soon-to-become parents providing them with a more comprehensive way of introducing personal finance to their children.
