You can put a price tag on the value of a personal finance education: $100,000
- SUMMARY
Taking a high school personal finance class can significantly benefit students throughout their lives.
Studies have shown a lifetime benefit of around $100,000 per student who completes such a course.
These classes teach skills that help students avoid high-interest debt, secure better credit scores, and make wise financial decisions.
They also promote a ripple effect within families and communities, where students share their knowledge with others.
In addition, research demonstrates that students who take personal finance courses exhibit positive financial behaviors, such as accessing lower-cost loans, enrolling in college, and having higher credit scores.
These individuals are also more likely to accumulate assets and net worth at a young age.
The importance of financial literacy is widely recognized, with half of all states requiring high school students to take a personal finance course before graduating.
This trend is likely to continue, as studies show the significant impact of financial education on students’ future well-being.
