Today’s citizens face a challenging economic future. Yet the sad truth is that the average family does little or nothing to help prepare them for the financial “real world.” Some organizations do offer some financial literacy resources, but very few or students reap their benefits. Financial illiteracy has reached epidemic proportions in our country, and causes major problems at both the community and national levels. Financial issues are the leading cause of a college dropout, debt issues and its associated stress often has a devastating emotional impact. This epidemic hurts not only individuals, but the community as a whole. The NFEC’s Certified Financial Education Instructors offer a partial solution. They raise awareness about financial literacy, support organizations broader objective and empower today’s youth with practical money skills.
