Financial illiteracy now, more than ever, has reached its highest and often leads those without "money sense" to long-term financial difficulties, stress and unhappiness. In fact, according to OppLoans nearly two-thirds of Americans can’t pass a basic financial literacy test. Why is that?
Well we are not born with money sense. Like common sense, we learn about money by example and through experience. In fact by age 3, we can begin to understand basic money concepts and at age 7 many financial habits are already set. Which means if family members or schools are not teaching basic personal finance skills by the second grade there is a high chance that the child will lack the proper financial foundation and have significant implications carried out throughout their lifetime when it comes to financial decisions and habits.
Financial Literacy
Ages 3-8
Financial Capability
Ages 9-14
Financial Experience
Ages 15+
Children are not born with “money sense”.
Children as young as 3 can grasp financial concepts like spending and saving.
Money habits are formed and set by age 7
The National Bureau of Economics found that children who did not receive hands on training typically only mimicked the behavior of the peer who instructed them — they didn’t actually absorb the knowledge
According the American Psychological Association money causes the most anxiety for Gen Z
In a study by EVERFI, only 33 percent of Gen Zers felt prepared to manage their money
WHY COMMON CENTS?
Most primary schools do not offer personal finance education, furthermore, recent studies have proved that the real educator is actually the child's family!
According to Schwab nine in ten children say what they know about finances came from their parents (whether you are actually teaching them or not). Which is why we founded Common Cents - to help families ensure their child’s financial preparedness.
