“After #FinancialEducation is required, my research has largely found that credit outcomes improve, and debt outcomes improve as well. That means credit scores go up, and students are less likely to miss payments.” - Dr. @Carly_Urban of @montanastate. bit.ly/47UMeW5

Exactly! With #FinancialEducation young people can make informed financial decisions.
"Many adults gained those skills through sometimes-expensive mistakes. That’s part of learning. It doesn’t have to be that way, though, & efforts to help students gain the basic skills to avoid learning the hard way are well worth it."

The research is clear! Young people who are exposed to #FinancialEducation are more likely to choose lower-cost methods of student borrowing.
"Financial literacy equips you to decipher the complexities of interest rates, helping you choose loans with favorable terms and saving you a substantial amount of money in the long run."

"That one class opened me to a whole new world that I was convinced I wouldn’t like...It made me really gung-ho about financial literacy and trying to educate as many people as possible."
