The founder of Youth Smart Financial Education Services recognized the need for financial education. Financial education provides a clear understanding of how money works and how it should be managed. Decisions about finances affect our daily lives. We are faced with questions: Should I go to a University or a Trade School; pay cash or charge an item; or spend today or save for tomorrow? Money is important. After all, the primary reason for going to college is to get a better paying job. However, if your student loan payments don’t allow you to live a better life the degree may not help you much. Skills in personal finance are necessary in order to manage real-world decisions. Knowledge and confidence are required to ask the right questions in order to make an informed decision. Financial education provides knowledge and increases confidence.

Everyone needs financial education. It strengthens the economy by producing informed, educated, and responsible consumers. Education raises awareness!
