| INDIANAPOLIS- A recent study by Ramsey Solutions found that 88% of American adults do not think high school prepared them to handle money in the real world. | |
| A new law State Representative Ethan Manning supported this session works to change this for Hoosier students. With the new law, students starting with the Class of 2028 will have to successfully complete a personal financial responsibility course before graduating from a public, charter or state-accredited nonpublic school. Topics in the financial literacy course would include spending and saving, debt management, retirement and investment accounts, state and federal income tax returns, loan applications and simple contracts. The State Board of Education will establish the curriculum. This is a great opportunity to better ensure young Hoosiers are more prepared to manage their personal finances and avoid costly mistakes.
