FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DAVE RAMSEY TEACHES COLLEGE STUDENTS ABOUT MONEY
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nationally syndicated radio talk show host and best-selling author, Dave Ramsey, announces his college curriculum, Foundations for Life & Money. This is the premier curriculum for teaching financial literacy to students using interactive learning.
A recent study by Sallie Mae reports that 88 percent of college seniors graduate with credit card debt. “College students spend countless hours studying for their degree but hardly any time learning about their personal finances,” said Ramsey. “After years of listening to college students tell me their financial woes on the radio it made sense to develop a program that would teach students how to avoid many common money mistakes.”
A study by Robert D. Manning says three out of five students with credit cards max them out during their freshman year of college and nearly three-fourths of students use their student loans to pay their credit card debt.
Aggressive marketing, joined with students’ lack of financial experience or education, leads many students into serious debt. Teens and students have a lot of money to spend but little knowledge of basic financial information. They spend more than they can repay and the debt increases quickly.
Foundations for Life & Money can help teach students sound financial principles so they can avoid financial difficulties as they transition into the workforce. The lessons are taught in an entertaining, passionate, and easy-to-understand style to help students learn the financial lessons their parents have learned the hard way. Each interactive lesson is taught by Ramsey through age-specific questions.
“It’s been really easy for me to use the Foundations for Life & Money curriculum. The video based program is really appealing to college students,” Tom Roesler, Alumni Advisor from Kansas State University. “It just works perfectly for the environment that we are in.”
