Abstract
The Well-Kept Wallet: Your Pathway to Financial Literacy is an educational program created to engage young students ages kindergarten to college in age-appropriate financial literacy skills-building. In total, I gave 40 presentations to classrooms and community organizations, sharing essential financial literacy information. This paper discusses my reflections on giving these presentations, including what I learned throughout the process and the student’s reactions.
In addition, I completed a survey of University of Mississippi freshmen in an EDHE course to better understand the financial literacy of Ole Miss students in reference to nationwide results of a financial literacy survey conducted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The survey consisted of seven basic financial literacy questions drafted by FINRA.
