The charity organisation the Citizens Advice Bureau which advises people on their rights has joined forces with the youth centred site ‘Youthnet‘ to promote a campaign aimed at young people and inteded to help them understand and deal with financial matters.
The intention is to advise 16-25 ear olds using podcasts, audio content and via mobile phones and help them understand various financial terms such as APR to enable them to deal sensibly with financial matters.
We have had a whole generation of children growing up with the idea that credit is almost free and if you run out of money you can just get another credit card.
This campaign is very welcome and will hopefully prevent many of our children growing up to become the slaves to debt.
There is a survey to be carried out to establish what 16-25 year olds need and want when it comes to advice about financial matters which can be found on the Citizens Advice or Youthnet Websites.
