Who taught you about credit?
If you're like most of us, you were never explicitly taught the implications of credit, debt, and your credit score before you legally became an adult and received your first credit card offer. Every year, millions of high school seniors cross the threshold into legal adulthood, largely unaware of how credit can positively or negatively affect future opportunities. This fundamental lack of preparation is a monumental problem that we can't afford to ignore.
High school seniors need fundamental knowledge and practical skills in credit and debt before they enter the adult world.
