Making The Right Money Moves
Making The Right Money Moves is a seven-lesson course in financial skills taught by high school faculty as a complement to their regular curriculum.
What is it?
The investment in education your credit union needs to yield knowledgeable new members. Credit unions nationwide use Making The Right Money Moves to teach young adults in a high school classroom basic money management skills, including how to access and manage credit responsibly.
Why do teens need it?
The average high school graduate lacks basic personal financial skills. Many cannot balance a checkbook and most have no insight into the basic principles of earning, spending, or saving.
Help young people manage their first credit experience and establish valuable lifelong financial habits. Give them the tools to avoid stumbling through their finances learning by trial and error.
