03.01.2022 A message from our sponsors at Savvy Finance... (please support those that support us!!!) www.savvy.com.au Kids and financial education: who should take the reins? Did you know that economics was the third most popular subject in the NSW Higher School Certificate (HSC) in the early 1990s, just behind English and mathematics? Today, it barely scrapes in at the Top 25. According to Savvy, a mortgage and personal loan broking firm, financial education is a case of diminishing ...returns. In a financial literacy survey of their customers conducted in January of 2020, parents are lacking critical financial literacy skills. Here are some of the big takeaways: Two in five respondents to the survey said they had a Good grasp on finance; about one in five say their understanding is fair or poorer. A whopping four in five have never seen a financial adviser to help them understand their finances and grow their wealth. The fundamentals are there: two thirds of kids have savings accounts though 29% had no savings accounts of any kind. 30% of those surveyed have either rarely or never discussed good and bad financial habits with their children; 42% have rarely or ever discussed entrepreneurship; 38% have never discussed investments with their kids; 32% have never discussed superannuation. Funnily enough, 42% of parents taught children a lesson the hard way saying they would have to work for pocket money or income if they were of working age. 14% said their pocket money depends on how many chores they complete or if they work in the family business. (Lets hope someone teaches them about super before then.) Parents Want Schools to Intervene A little over a third of respondents rated their childrens knowledge in finance a three out of a possible five. Who should take the lead in education? When asked, over half of respondents said that schools at the primary and secondary level should give children classes so they can understand finance. Savvy CEO and financial literacy expert Bill Tsouvalas says that financial education should be as fundamental as English or mathematics in schools. Whats your take? Are we failing our kids on financial education? Or are we doing just fine? Let us know in the comments below with your thoughts and suggestions. See more
