Financial literacy is the possession of the set of skills and knowledge that allows an individual to make informed and effective decisions with all of their financial resources. Financial literacy is important because it equips us with the knowledge and skills we need to manage money effectively. Without it, our financial decisions and the actions we take or don't take lack an informed foundation to maximize their success. Meaning we often abuse our credit before we’re able to take advantage of it. This financial literacy club will be for the community. The goal behind teaching financial literacy is to help people develop a stronger understanding of basic financial concepts—that way, they can handle their money better. Financial literacy for students is an important tool to improve the financial capability of our youth and communities. Students should be taught how to handle money—both at home and in school. This will help reduce the economic impact of the long-term recession that now grips many communities across the country. The ultimate goal is to open community centers and keep classes free and educate our culture while also producing fundraising opportunities to local schools both private and public. #cartercapitalpllc #ariseschools #nolaschools #privateschools #charterschools #firstlineschoolsnola #firstlineschools #fundraisers @cartercapitalpllc #likeusonfacebook #bethechange #followus #registerthekids #kidsfinancialeducation #kidsfinancialliteracy #wealth (at Carter Capital, PLLC) https://www.instagram.com/p/B24KvlVlzZS/?igshid=rfbwrm66ykov
