Graduating high school is so exciting! Once all the cards filled with money, the ceremonies and parties are over…the real world knocks on their door and wants in! A new world of independence is right around the corner no matter what those next steps are – college, tech school, or going straight into the workforce. There will be new found freedoms, but also new found responsibilities!
High School graduates don’t have the financial skills they need to begin their new life of independence! The soft skills they learned early on in high school have been forgotten because they haven’t been able to practice them.
If a high school graduate doesn’t have knowledge of even the basics in the area of money, and even more knowledge about how to handle their money, it can set them up to make uneducated decisions that could affect them for many years to come, in a very negative way.
Young adults need the basics of many money matters including but not limited to: debt, how credit and interest works, credit cards, student loans, credit scores, taxes and what it takes to proactively manage income with a budget. Mom and Dad won’t always be there to help them make financial decisions, so helping them be prepared with the knowledge it will take to make those decisions is the key.
