Financial Literacy for Kids
Why Teach Kids Money Concepts?
01.
Early Learning Matters
Research shows that children as young as 3 years old can begin to understand value and exchange, and by age 7, many have already formed basic saving and spending habits. Starting young helps build a strong financial foundation.

Teens Want Guidance
Over half of teens say they want to learn more about managing money, but fewer than 1 in 5 feel ready to make real financial decisions. Many lack understanding of credit cards and compound interest.

Financial Literacy = Future Security
Financially literate individuals are significantly more likely to save for retirement and emergencies. Kids with early money skills are better equipped to manage debt, set goals, and build stability as adults.
