- 46% of respondent said they either could not cover an emergency expense of $400 or would cover it by selling something or borrowing money (ConsumerFinance.gov)

Financial Literacy Education
According to the image below, only 16 of 23 states have a law requiring high school students to take a course in personal finance before graduating.
You don’t become financially literate from taking just one course in personal finance. Financial literacy involves a lifetime of learning and is something that should be taught every semester of high school.
