Teens talk about money

Did you know it's Credit Education Week Canada? The focus is on Canadian high school students and teaching them to save properly and budget consistently to avoid a debt-filled future.

-Some teenagers have even worse money management habits than their parents.
-Many parents are not teaching their children the fundamentals of money management.
-A significant gap exists between what parents think they are teaching their teens and what teenagers are actually learning.
-Parents may overestimate the impact of teachers when it comes to teaching money management to their teens.
-Teens prefer interactive learning for money matters.
