Jumpstart Coalition
First convened in December, 1995, the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal
Financial Literacy determined that the average student who graduates from
high school lacks basic skills in the management of personal financial
affairs. Many are unable to balance a checkbook and most simply have no
insight into the basic survival principles involved with earning, spending,
saving and investing.
Many young people fail in the management of their first consumer credit
experience, establish bad financial management habits, and stumble through
their lives learning by trial and error. The Coalition’s direct objective is
to encourage curriculum enrichment to insure that basic personal financial
management skills are attained during the K-12 educational experience. The
wheels of education do not need to be reinvented, they simply require
balance.
