Finance Education

We expect people to shop for the best deal, know their limits, and make responsible decisions. But contracts for financial products and services have become incredibly complex, and people receive surprisingly little education in how to manage their money. This lack of know-how makes consumers easy targets, not only for predators, but also for legitimate businesses looking to maximize their profits. This chapter makes the case for providing personal finance education in schools and also in the workplace. It also describes the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s research on the gross mismatch between corporate spending to market financial products and general spending to improve financial literacy ($25 to $1), its efforts to help deliver financial education, and its ground-breaking work on defining and measuring the concept of financial well-being.

This paper investigates the impact of personal finance education on financial well-being and presents arguments for including personal finance education into core curriculum. This paper also provides an overview of the current trends in the US economy that are dramatically affecting the financial management behaviors of American households and their financial well-being
