This study analyzes the impacts of financial education on youth. In addition, the project examines the components of different financial education curriculums and determines the key characteristics of a successful program. Financial literacy is the ability to understand and effectively use various financial skills. Educating youth effectively and helping them become financially literate provides a solid foundation for a stable lifestyle. Unfortunately, many young people are unable to have this opportunity to learn beneficial financial skills that may help them transition into adulthood and have more financial responsibilities. The findings of this research produce recommendations for the content, delivery methods, and format of an effective financial education program. The lasting impact of this research is to optimize the efficiency of educating our youth about finances and set more young people up for successful futures.
