First convened in December, 1995,
the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy determined
that the average student who graduates from high school lacks basic
skills in the management of personal financial affairs. Many are
unable to balance a checkbook and most simply have no insight into
the basic survival principles involved with earning, spending,
saving and investing. |

A Financial Simulation for Young
Adults, is an interactive financial simulation program that helps
teenagers and young adults understand how personal behaviors and
decisions affect someone’s finances and quality of life. While
dozens of high quality financial simulations for youth exist and
have been used successfully for several decades, most are very
resource intensive and require a large room (e.g., gymnasium or
cafeteria), months of advance planning, substantial photocopying,
and dozens of volunteers to staff “stations” for various household
expenses (e.g., landlord, utility company, car dealer, and insurance
agent) |

The Awakening: Is This Your Financial Life? |
The Awakening is an animated story
intended to emphasize self-awareness and personal financial
responsibility. It is a tool for those who want to enhance their
financial wellness and is designed to promote the life-long benefits
of financial self-control. When we meet the Knowdoe family in The
Awakening, their financial life is out of control. They are stressed
and blaming one another. Through the assistance of three money
spirits, we learn how the family happened to get into their current
financial predicament, the present impact, and the likely future
effects if they continue along the same financial path. In the end,
the Knowdoe family learns from past financial mistakes and takes
action to positively change their financial circumstances. |
