Credit as a Right of Passage
This week we wrap up our special series on Financial Literacy for kids and young adults. We spent some time on the SU campus with students involved in the “I Otto Know This” financial literacy program. Launched by the financial Aid office at Syracuse University last year, the program aims to provide students the budgeting, credit and saving skills they will rely on, no matter where their new careers lead them. We sat down with 5 students and discussed how they learned about money and personal financial responsibility. Some of their answers surprised us… and might surprise you as well.
We also have been getting lots of great e-mails for the show lately. Keep them coming! We love hearing from viewers. If you have a question about your investments or savings… or even about how Italy may effect your financial world, tune in this Thursday and ask your questions LIVE on the show at 8PM.
Or as always, leave your comments here and we may share them as part of our discussion on the show.

I work in a JSHS and didn’t have a pen in hand to write down the two websites that were given at the end of the program. I am very interested in financial literacy for young people. Please list those two websites again. Thanks!

On last night’s program you made reference to two (2) websites that were appropriate for guiding young people toward a better undestanding of their financial responsibilities.
What were they?
