The average student who graduates from high school lacks basic skills in the management of personal financial affairs. Many are unable to balance a checkbook and most simply have no insight into the basic survival principles involved with earning, spending, saving and investing.

Many young people fail in the management of their first consumer credit experience, establish bad financial management habits, and stumble through their lives learning by trial and error. People Making Progress, Inc. and QuoteMedia are forming a partnership for financial literacy. Our objective is to encourage curriculum enrichment to insure that basic personal financial management skills are attained during the K-12

educational experience. Both LearnStar and the Magic Johnson Foundation will participate in this program. LearnStar will participate through it’s LearnStar for Life program and the Magic Johnson Foundation will participate through corporate partnerships they have established.


Our Objectives Are:
• To identify personal finance education materials for use in Kindergarten through 12th grade classrooms, in a variety of formats and from multiple sources.
• To provide timely assistance to information seekers, largely through electronic services.
• Utilize media types -- books, videos, software, teaching guides, pamphlets, Web pages.
• Reference major descriptors -- income, money management, saving and investing, spending and credit.
