Totally agree with FPA chief executive our children need more financial education programs like this to prepare them for financial decision making in the future.

A financial literacy test given by the National Financial Educators Council found that test-takers from 10-14 years old scored an average of only 53.58%.

Good financial habits are best learnt at an early age that's why we created "IT DOESN'T GROW ON TREES" a book that encourages kids to adopt the right habits when it comes to earning, saving, and spending.
