Do your teenagers know how to open and manage a checking account? Do they understand how to use credit cards wisely? Are you looking for a fun activity for them?
On Monday, Jan. 4, the University of Florida/IFAS Palm Beach County Extension Service, through its 4-H Program, will host a special “Living on My Own” program for youth ages 13 to 17.
Statistics show that 46 percent of Americans have less than $10,000 saved for retirement and student loan debt has reached the $1.2 trillion mark. These facts demonstrate the need for youth to gain valuable knowledge and skills for managing finances.
Join in on Monday, Jan. 4 from 1 to 4:30 p.m. at the Palm Beach County Extension Service (531 N. Military Trail, West Palm Beach). Admission is free for 4-H members; admission for nonmembers is $5 per youth (maximum $10 per family). Refreshments will be provided.
