The best places for teens to learn about personal finance

[Knowlopedia]

Teenagers can learn about personal finance from their parents, from school, or from other sources of information, but these outlets aren't always reliable. However, the best place for teenagers to find information about personal finance is through the internet. There are a lot of great websites that offer helpful tips and guidance on everything from credit cards to job searches. What's more is that there is a large amount of free material available for teens as well. Learning from parents or other adults is a great idea, but it can be hard for teenagers to get their attention. Websites allow teens to read about important topics, without teachers or parents objecting to their reading assignments. Furthermore, the internet can provide teens with valuable information, especially when they are in a vulnerable situation. For example, because online jobs are relatively new, teens may not have had enough time to learn everything they need to know.
For parents who want their kids to start building up a basic understanding of personal finance before they go out into the real world and face high debts or low wages at the job market, there is no better place that they can turn than the Internet.
