The Personal Finance Education Bill (HB 1054) became law in Florida as of July 1, 2022. The new law requires a financial literacy course as a prerequisite to high school graduation.

George and I were thinking, if we designed the course, or if Governor DeSantis consulted with us to design the course, what are the top five things we would include (and then we thought up a few more).

• How to balance a checking account
• Understanding spending behaviors
• Budgeting
• Understanding Credit Score
• and more ...

After listening to the episode, do you agree? What would you include? Can you connect us with Governor DeSantis?
