Why do we need financial literacy?
In order to help children gain financial independence and take control of their financial future, it's imperative to give them the right exposure. Financial literacy is not limited to Budgeting, Investing, and Personal Financial Management, but has various other benefits that can contribute to building prolonged financial stability such as:
Ability to make better financial decisions
Effective management of money and debt
Reduction of expenses through better regulation
Less financial stress and anxiety
Increase in ethical decision-making
Selecting insurance, loans, investments and using credit cards
Effective creation of a structured budget
And these benefits can only be achieved through the active participation of children in learning about finance from an early age and by parents who identify such opportunities that can shape their child’s future. Hence, FINMANIA will develop an interest among students and develop their curiosity to explore the many realms of finances.
