A6: As long as there is gender bias, girls will encounter situations in which they are underestimated, undervalued, or excluded. We should teach them to recognize and navigate these situations before they occur. Girls should know that they can, and should, succeed. #InvestInHer
Final Question!
Q6: What are future challenges that will impact young women and their finances? How can we prepare them to face those obstacles? #InvestInHer @NEFE_ORG
A5: This question speaks to why @CouncilEconEd merged with @investgirls, which teaches K-12 girls personal finance, provides them pathways into the financial services industry, and introduces them to role models. The program reinforces their self-worth and confidence.#InvestInHer
Q5: According to a report by @Visa, young women value early investing but 75% lack the confidence to do so. How can the industry and teachers boost women’s investing confidence? #InvestInHer @NEFE_ORG vi.sa/2Vw9rtm
A3 (3/3): As always, we also recommend having these conversations at home. Depending on what’s age-appropriate, bring your girls into conversations about family expenditures, car payments, or college. You might be surprised at how much they can absorb! #InvestInHer
Q3: What can parents, guardians and mentors do to ensure the girls in their lives have the #FinEd knowledge they need? #InvestInHer @investgirls
A3 (1/3): Parents, guardians, and mentors can play important roles in advocating for the inclusion of personal finance education in K-12. They can lobby schools and state government to enact personal finance standards and requirements. #InvestInHer

A3 (2/3): At the @CouncilEconEd website, we offer an Advocacy Toolkit to help anyone who’s interested in making personal finance a priority in K-12 schools. #InvestInHer councilforeconed.org/policy-…
A2: In a world where gender discrimination and achievement gaps persist, #finlit is essential for women’s independence and quality of life. Financially literate women control their careers and personal lives, and are less vulnerable to fraud or economic abuse. #InvestInHer
A1 (2/2): I should probably mention here that econedlink.org features hundreds of free lesson plans, videos, and activities, or personal finance topics like saving, budgeting, taxing, entrepreneurship, owning a car, paying for college, investing, and more. #InvestInHer
Let’s get started!
Q1: What are important #FinEd lessons that you've learned in your own personal life? #InvestInHer @investgirls
A1 (1/2): Teaching kids the vocabulary of money goes a long way to reducing future anxiety around personal finance. Kids who are comfortable with these concepts will internalize them faster, choose good tools to manage their finances, and seek out advice when needed. #Investinher

At CEE Annual Conference with Sylvain Leduc, director of research @sffed and @nanjmorrison , president and CEO @CouncilEconEd
Teaching kids basic money skills in school will give them the essential tools they’ll need to make better choices. I spoke to @sarahtgobrien about this in a new article for #InvestInYou (from @CNBC in partnership with @Acorns):

Thank you, @ronlieber, for providing this great advice for high school grads! He offers some fantastic tips on timeless concepts: credit, budgeting, banking, insurance, benefits, loans, financial aid, saving for retirement, and insurance. nytimes.com/2019/05/31/your-…
