Financial illiteracy is now the main cause of the global financial crisis. From a recent survey it is found that 75% of adults don't know how much to save for retirement. Even half of them don't know about inflation and interest rate. On the other hand, credit card companies have been intentionally taking benefit of financial illiteracy by promoting credit card use. They also have been advertising the credit card use as sound financial planning.
Financial education is very much essential for the consumers to make wise options about their personal finances. They totally have let their problems on others. The main problem with this is that there is some financial planning which can't be learned without suffering from a financial failure. There are also some authorized features to financial management in contract basis with insurance companies and financial organizations which go over the head of most of the peoples.
So, educating consumers in money management is very much essential and it should be implemented in our school system. This education system shouldn't be done by banks or other financial organizations as they have the tendency to influence our children to become consumers of their systems and services without any knowledge of its disadvantages. This activity should be developed and implemented by independent financial experts who are not in sponsorship with any financial industries.
Realizing the financial problem is more important then the financial education. People should realize the utility of their money. These basic beliefs around money are 90% of the problem with deprived financial management. And financial education is the other 10%. So, we need to be teaching or children the right values and priorities first and then we should try for financial illiteracy problem. These basic values can only be taught in the family and other financial faith based organizations.
