Young adults need financial literacy to develop good personal finance skills to make informed decisions and achieve financial success. ‘When students are engaged early on in learning; particularly about earning an income, budgeting, saving and investing, charitable giving, and managing debt — they gain powerful skills to shape their own lives and make a difference in their local community,’ says Christine Parker, CFP®, President, Parker Financial, LLC.
