Jump$tart Personal Finance Standards

The Jump$tart Personal Finance Standards are a set of educational guidelines aimed at improving financial literacy among young people. Created by a coalition of financial education organizations, these standards outline essential knowledge and skills in personal finance, including budgeting, saving, investing, credit management, and financial decision-making. The goal is to equip students with the tools they need to make informed financial choices, promote responsible money management, and prepare them for real-world financial challenges. By providing a structured framework, these standards help educators develop effective personal finance curricula for students from elementary through high school.
