Inside the Movement to Teach Kids About Money

If you’re an adult, chances are you didn’t learn much about how to handle your personal finances in school. But today, schools across the country are increasingly folding financial literacy into the curriculum, covering topics like budgeting, managing debt and even gambling. Thirty-five states require students to take a class to graduate. In this hour-long special from Marketplace, we visit schools and explore how effective these classes are at helping students deal with debt, avoid scams and increase credit scores.

Get Your Money Life in Order

In this special, host Reema Khrais helps listeners get their financial life together in time for the new year. She’ll unpack some practical tips with a personal finance expert and then share a personal money story that is sure to captivate listeners. To round out the hour, Reema will interview a financial therapist to get some useful tips for understanding our relationships with money and how to navigate the uncomfortable feelings that come along with it. This hour will make listeners laugh, gasp, and think about money in a whole new way. The tone will be chatty, fun and guilt-free.

This special comes to us from “This Is Uncomfortable,” the podcast from Marketplace about life and how money messes with it. Each week, host Reema Khrais digs in with stories about the unanticipated ways money affects relationships and shapes identities. Khrais dives into uncomfortable topics like friends borrowing money, relationships and the other varied ways money shapes who we are.
