fort myers: Never Too Young To Learn About Credit
- 04/29/15 12:35 PM
One of the failings of our education system is that kids do not get taught about credit. Research shows that 40% of American adults do not understand the basics about credit. Worse, they believe false information about how credit works.
For example, many people believe that job status, income and age play a role in determining a credit score. If parents are not aware of the facts then we can't expect credit to be effectively taught in the home. As a result, this vital information to conducting personal financial affairs falls through the cracks.
