Financial literacy is so important because what matters more is how much money you keep rather than how much you make.

I believe it was in school, probably high school, that I was shown the power of investing. I see now that it is rare for this to be taught, but I was in one of the better American states for education based off test results. So I applaud your efforts to get in some quality financial education time with your students.

But still, the student has to WANT to understand it otherwise they will not listen.
