National Study Assesses U.S. Adults' Financial Literacy

Eight in 10 U.S. adults think it is important that financial literacy be taught.  These individuals expressed a desire to enhance their own personal financial knowledge to assist them with saving and preparing for the future. 

“Like literacy, financial literacy needs to be viewed as a lifelong endeavor" stated David Godsted of  Networks Financial Institute. he went on to say, “It stands to reason that basic literacy and ESL students are probably in great need of financial literacy instruction.  Providing this information for students is a wonderful way to make math and numeracy lessons relevant.”
