Learning Financial Literacy as a Teen or Young Adult
9 days ago by charles.12c
Hi all, I’d like to open up Learning Financial Literacy as a Teen or Young Adult. I tutor high school students and often see they don’t know how credit cards work, or that compound interest isn’t magic. One student told me they borrowed money thinking they'd pay back later but got hit by fees. It made me recall my own youth mistake—I charged a phone to a card at 19, didn’t check the rules, and accrued interest for months. Now I try to collect resources to teach them better habits early. Wondering what tools or platforms helped you learn money management in your teens or twenties.
