Financial literacy is good for Americans, and for the country...
"Currently 35 states require high school students to take a course in personal finance to graduate, and 28 states require students to take a course in economics. The only states that have no requirement include Colorado,... Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Vermont and Washington.
Arizona enacted legislation to establish a State Seal of Personal Finance Proficiency to recognize public school graduates who have attained a high level of proficiency in personal finance.
Organizations like the Council for Economic Education have been advocating for public policy that instills in high school students the fourth “R” — a real world understanding of economics and personal finance. Its FinEd50 initiative advances policy changes at the state level and reports a 12-state increase since 2022 in states passing personal finance requirements. That translates into an additional 10 million high school students who will be able to learn financial literacy."

HOW TO OBSERVE FINANCIAL LITERACY MONTH
1. Take a pledge to change
The first way to observe Financial Literacy Month is by reviewing your attitude towards your finances. Think about if you can commit to change the way you make a financial decision. Take a pledge to change your decisions that will benefit you more in the future.
2. Urge the government to make financial education mandatory
We should request the government to make personal finance education mandatory in schools and colleges. This will make the younger generation more educated about smartly handling their finances.
3. Raise awareness about Financial Literacy Month
Due to the pandemic, our finances are being affected which makes Financial Literacy Month more important. We should continue to raise awareness about choosing intelligent ways to handle our finances.
Did you know? In Australia, efforts to enhance financial literacy are ongoing, with resources available through organizations like ASIC's Moneysmart and a recent update to the school curriculum to include financial literacy, which we will see rolling out over the coming years. It is imperative that we continue to collectively urge our Government to ensure this vital education is provided to our youth! Let's seize this month to educate ourselves, our friends, and our families about the importance of financial literacy. Together, we can build a brighter financial future for all Aussies! 🌟
