Many adults never learn financial basics at home or school
Eileen Ambrose ― Baltimore Sun

Most of us are familiar with the food pyramid, the government’s guideline for healthful eating. Now imagine a “money pyramid” for healthy finances.

The Treasury Department is working on such a teaching tool right now, and it’s seeking public input this week on what money maxims should be included. The agency wants your opinion on its proposed list of what adults need to know about five key areas of finance — earning, spending, saving, borrowing and protecting against risk.

The goal is to put those concepts in an easy-to-remember format that can be used by financial education programs across the country — and to help us all make more informed decisions. You can e-mail your thoughts to FLECstrategy@do.treas.gov.
