 | Opportunities must be provided for young people before they get into
business to be able to identify different products and services that
financial institutions offer and understand how to use them.

Robert Duvall, Council for Economic Education
 | ...All our young people, indeed all our citizens, need a grounding in basic, practical and applied economics, in order to make worthwhile choices about managing their money and being self-reliant participants in the economy.

Sharon Lechter, Pay Your Family First
 | I believe that financial literacy education should become a requirement and an integral part of the mortgage and credit process. Further, more specific and easy-to-understand disclosure documents should be provided and reviewed with the borrower during the lending process.

Laura Levine, Jump$tart Coalition
 | By making personal finance part of every student’s education, I think we can help to level the playing field for those students who may not be getting financial guidance at home—for whatever reason—and put them on a path toward realizing their dreams. |
Janet Parker, Society for Human Resource Management
 | As employers begin incorporating financial education in the workplace, they will see that the return on their investment will far outweigh the modest costs of helping their to make employees become financially literate. |
