When's the best time to start teaching your kids about financial literacy? Laura Levine, President and CEO of the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy shares some tips. #FinancialFreedomDay
Vital skills to learn!
Wow, thank you! It was a lot of fun to join you at Treasury!
Great answer. It would also be valuable if we could devote a small amount of learning time to help students in art classes understand the finances around some of the art forms they’re exploring. For example in a visual arts class: the cost of the clay, paint, tools, and how to save money by recycling or reviving certain materials. Or in a dance class: the cost of hiring someone to design and edit the music, or cost of buying/learning the software to edit your own music, cost of performance gear, cost of studio space, etc. And revenue opportunities would be a powerful addition as well. Financial literacy within arts education could really help the next generation rewrite the starving artist narrative!
Thank you U.S. Department of Education for featuring our CEO Laura L. Levine and her thoughts about starting financial learning early.
Yes, it’s so important to start early. Many high schools now require financial literacy classes in order to graduate, but it should begin at the elementary level.
When they can ask a parent to buy something for them? You should always be teaching financial literacy to a child.
Great video, Laura L. Levine.
Thank Laura L. Levine for your continous advocacy and support for financial literacy for all! 🌟

1wCould our government start talking how all our greed has made higher education unaffordable? Maybe the government needs a lesson on securing obtainable investments (education), budgeting, and not lending unforgivable 100k loans with 6.7% interest rates to teenagers. Even our state colleges are not reasonable costed anymore. I love education, know and I've seen what an education can do for someone, but lately education benchmarks are low with high price tags leaving our future feeling stuck instead of empowered. I think some of leaders need to learn financial literacy themselves. News flash, a majority of American citizens were not born with a golden spoon in their mouth, nor provided with a proper cost of higher education or given real financial aid.....instead we will let 18 year olds to rack up 100k in student debt, that's without interest, and knowing further education maybe needed in their field. This post is a joke!!!
