Abstract:

Financial literacy education is starting to become a better-known topic within our North Carolina public school systems. A few bills have been passed requiring education curriculum to incorporate general economics, money management, savings and investment, and general banking procedures. With better financial management skills, there may be fewer bankruptcies and foreclosures, and lower consumer debt.
