Canada Expands Financial Literacy Program for High School Students
The Canadian federal government has expanded a program aimed at educating high school students on financial literacy, focusing on credit, debt, and distinguishing between needs and wants. This initiative comes after the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) criticized parents for not adequately teaching children about basic budgeting. The program seeks to address gaps in financial education and equip students with essential money management skills.

Teach your kids how to manage money. Start young. Teach them to save 10% of everything they earn, and to give away another 10% to a charitable cause. Schools won't provide this foundation, but YOU can. This sets your children up for a lifetime of financial health and generosity.
