“Overwhelmed” is an expression that teens often use to describe their perspective on finances.
“I have no idea where to start. A college education looks out of reach. A good-paying job seems out of reach. A decent apartment or house seems out of reach. The world of finance in general seems so out of control. I don’t know how and where to begin, and I don’t even know if I can do it.”
Many parents do not deliberately teach their teens about financial literacy. Why?
–Some parents prefer to insulate or shield their teens from the financial side of life so their teens can enjoy their youth free of financial worries or pressures.
–Some parents don’t want to share their finances with their teens; instead, they keep family finances a “secret.”
–Some parents don’t know how to equip their teens for financial literacy because they consider themselves inadequate, unqualified or financially weak themselves.
–Some parents take a hands-off approach, trusting and delegating their teens’ financial education to high school staff and curricula.
All of these perspectives are inherently unconstructive and potentially destructive. Finances are a reality of life, so if teens and parents want to deal with them successfully and effectively now and in the future, they need to “put it all on the table.” And that’s exactly where the Take Charge Teens & Parents Seminar comes in.
