A6: As long as there is gender bias, girls will encounter situations in which they are underestimated, undervalued, or excluded. We should teach them to recognize and navigate these situations before they occur. Girls should know that they can, and should, succeed. #InvestInHer

[Invest in Girls, Inc (A Program of CEE) @investgirls]

Final Question!

Q6: What are future challenges that will impact young women and their finances? How can we prepare them to face those obstacles? #InvestInHer @NEFE_ORG

[Nan J. Morrison @nanjmorrison]

A5: This question speaks to why @CouncilEconEd merged with @investgirls, which teaches K-12 girls personal finance, provides them pathways into the financial services industry, and introduces them to role models. The program reinforces their self-worth and confidence.#InvestInHer

[Invest in Girls, Inc (A Program of CEE) @investgirls]

Q5: According to a report by @Visa, young women value early investing but 75% lack the confidence to do so. How can the industry and teachers boost women’s investing confidence? #InvestInHer @NEFE_ORG https://t.co/45uiglw4ci

[Nan J. Morrison @nanjmorrison]

A3 (3/3): As always, we also recommend having these conversations at home. Depending on what’s age-appropriate, bring your girls into conversations about family expenditures, car payments, or college. You might be surprised at how much they can absorb! #InvestInHer

[NEFE @NEFE_ORG]

Q3: What can parents, guardians and mentors do to ensure the girls in their lives have the #FinEd knowledge they need? #InvestInHer @investgirls

[Nan J. Morrison @nanjmorrison]

A3 (2/3): At the @CouncilEconEd website, we offer an Advocacy Toolkit to help anyone who’s interested in making personal finance a priority in K-12 schools. #InvestInHer https://t.co/8jBWePiepM

[Nan J. Morrison @nanjmorrison]

A3 (1/3): Parents, guardians, and mentors can play important roles in advocating for the inclusion of personal finance education in K-12. They can lobby schools and state government to enact personal finance standards and requirements. #InvestInHer

[Nan J. Morrison @nanjmorrison]

A2: In a world where gender discrimination and achievement gaps persist, #finlit is essential for women’s independence and quality of life. Financially literate women control their careers and personal lives, and are less vulnerable to fraud or economic abuse. #InvestInHer

[Invest in Girls, Inc (A Program of CEE) @investgirls]

Q2: Why is it important to ensure girls are financially confident? #InvestInHer @NEFE_ORG

[Nan J. Morrison @nanjmorrison]

A1 (2/2): I should probably mention here that https://t.co/TNcWSSK7QJ features hundreds of free lesson plans, videos, and activities, or personal finance topics like saving, budgeting, taxing, entrepreneurship, owning a car, paying for college, investing, and more. #InvestInHer

[NEFE @NEFE_ORG]

Let’s get started!
Q1: What are important #FinEd lessons that you've learned in your own personal life? #InvestInHer @investgirls

[Nan J. Morrison @nanjmorrison]

A1 (1/2): Teaching kids the vocabulary of money goes a long way to reducing future anxiety around personal finance. Kids who are comfortable with these concepts will internalize them faster, choose good tools to manage their finances, and seek out advice when needed. #Investinher

[Nan J. Morrison @nanjmorrison]

Teaching kids basic money skills in school will give them the essential tools they’ll need to make better choices. I spoke to @sarahtgobrien about this in a new article for #InvestInYou (from @CNBC in partnership with @Acorns):
