Report: Many Indiana students poorly prepared to manage money
Six of ten Indiana high-school students failed a national money-management survey, and about the same number say they learned everything they know about the topic at home, according to a new Indiana Youth Institute report. Schools would do well to instruct students on money management, helping them to distinguish between wants and needs and the proper use of debit cards, said Lena Yarian, president of Junior Achievement of Northern Indiana.

“Most third-graders know two things about money: you need it to buy a Wii, and it doesn’t grow on trees.
While those are important things to understand, they don’t really capture the complexities of a financial world that can baffle the brightest business school student, and they certainly don’t prepare a youngster for the challenges that await them after graduation….”

Welcome to the series! Our first episode provides an introduction to the new world of Financial Literacy. Talking Financial Literacy is a global discussion dealing with educational needs emerging from the ever changing world of personal finance. Co-hosted by Mark Gura and Dr. Kathleen P. King (Kathy) this new series provides professional development and resources for educators, students and lifelong learners. Finding our way to and through the impressive amount of material on this subject, this 24 episode series will be both a report and an investigation.
Defining Financial Literacy
A continuing theme… let’s begin with a definition from Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_literacy
Financial literacy is the ability of individuals to make appropriate decisions in managing their personal finances. Raising levels of financial literacy is now a focus of government programs in countries including Australia, Japan, the United States and the UK. …”
We will be looking for academic standards in Financial Literacy as the series progresses.
Financial Literacy is not simply enhanced by technology, but the use of tech in this area is essential!
