Why is Financial Literacy a Must for Young Adolescents?
"Financial literacy is a core life skill for participating in modern society. Children are growing up in an increasingly complex world where they will eventually need to take charge of their own financial future. "​

Acquiring and internalizing financial knowledge and developing good habits is a long process. For many, it even involves making mistakes. Starting early gives them ample time to learn, practice, and embrace financial literacy as a part of their personal growth.
