Site Helps Folks Fulfill 1 New Year’s Resolution

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - The Ohio Credit Union League (OCUL) has launched a financial education initiative called MoneyAndStuff. Release follows a league-commissioned survey that found only 23% of Ohioans make any effort to encourage financial literacy in their families, and that just 5% were taught about personal finance when they were young. OCUL’s research showed that people feel stuck in their current financial situations, with little they can do to help themselves or their children. As a result, MoneyAndStuff.info seeks to act as a financial education resource and offer financial lessons, tips for parents and educational games, and more. In 2006, the Ohio General Assembly required all public high schools teach personal financial education starting in 2010. (c) 2008 The Credit Union Journal and SourceMedia, Inc.
