Last semester, I competed for the PricewaterhouseCoopers Competition challenge, in which I was able to work with three women and come with a solution for a problem a company was facing while considering their financial goals and objectives. Moreover, I also interned as Financial Planning Intern for The M Group and Associates. Through this position, I was able to learn more about financial services including investment planning, asset management, employee and executives benefits accounts, retirement planning, and many others. I was able to contact customers and explain different financial services available as well as their benefits and limitations.

Throughout unit three of the Financial Literacy lesson, payment types, I learned many things. To begin, I learned about credit. Credit is an agreement where a borrower receives something of value now and agrees to repay the lender at a later time.

When considering getting a credit card, it’s important to research some information about them. This includes the interest rate charged by your credit card company, special fees, rewards, and the maximum amount you can charge to your card. While credit cards can be fun to use, it’s important to use them responsibly. You should make your payments on time (this will help you stay

Life as I know it is coming to an end. For the majority of my life my parents were generous and payed for my needs and wants, but now that they opened my eyes about paying for for my own needs and wants. This topic about finance is giving me a rude of awakening about how to budget our annual salary or yearly salary with paying for our wants and taking care of our needs. When we were little we thought that money grew on trees or came from magical wishing weld, but facing the truth where money really come from which is hard work and a good education.

Many different studies have shown that having a mandatory financial literacy class would not be helpful for students because they think that they know everything when they do not and when tested they don't score any better than those that do take the course. The mandatory financial literacy class is not good enough right not for a changing world. Therefore, students should not be forced into a class that might hurt them in the long run.

Many believe that financial literacy classes are helpful and a good tool for you in the future. Finance is a waste of time and the classes do not help you in any case. The material taught in these classes are not used in everyday life and the methods used in the class are not helpful in any way.

It’s no secret that a majority Americans struggle with all things finances. The jargon alone is enough to leave many confused, and with the complexities of modern economy becoming an ever increasing tangled mess, Americans are looking to do something about it. One popular suggestion is financial literacy classes for high school students. While the idea sounds promising, the reality of these classes is rather farfetched. People praise the thought of implementing financial literacy into our school system in order to help kids in their future.

Financial literacy should, without a doubt, be a requirement to graduate in every high school. Every year, thousands of high school students graduate and are forced into the real world with no knowledge of financial literacy. How could they be expected to succeed? High schools prepare students to find the perimeter of a garden, write in MLA format, and always keep their shirts tucked in, but fail to prepare students for loans,car notes, or taxes.

Opponents of teaching financial literacy may argue that it has a negligible impact on society, but that is not the truth. Knowing about financial literacy before college is ‘too important to ignore’(Frost,3). It’s crucial for making suitable financial decisions for the future and all of the students are going to use it in real life. In real life, students need to apply this knowledge

This statement is rather shocking but proves why high school students should be taught financial literacy. Financial literacy is the ability of learning how to manage money. Financial literacy should be taught because, more people have been going bankrupt at a younger age, they have more debt options, and lastly are unable to manage money because they have never been taught. This is not just a problem for an individual, but potentially a huge problem in this country’s future.
