Your kids might not think fiscal responsibility is as exciting as the newest TikTok dance challenge. But helping teens develop healthy financial habits is essential for any parent in today’s world. Things like setting a budget, opening a savings account, and understanding how credit cards work aren’t always covered at school. That’s why DEXSTA offers a free financial literacy program for teens (and adults!) called Banzai.
Financial Literacy Programs Set Teens Up For Success
Help your kids avoid bad decisions with money. Especially when they are still young and can avoid the pitfalls of consumer debt and predatory credit card offers. Financial literacy courses just for teens cover the cost of college, saving money, and other financial basics. Hours of interactive tools, articles, and exercises give teens the best chance to gain confidence and control over their financial futures (and maybe buy that ebike for themselves).
Banzai has financial literacy courses for everyone, including adults. Parents can read articles alongside their kids on how to stay out of debt, learn the 50/30/20 rule for budgeting, and how to invest in the stock market.
Access Age-Relevant Financial Literacy Programs for Ages 8-18+
In addition, Banzai’s financial literacy program isn’t just for teens. Age-relevant courses for children ages eight to 18 are also available! This treasure trove of information can prepare kids of any age for a lifetime of financial success. The program uses scenarios relatable to kids like saving up for fun experiences at a waterpark or operating a lemonade stand.
Enroll Your Child in a DEXSTA Youth Savings Club or Teen Savings Program for Extra Credit!
Is your teen interested in buying a car or putting aside a bit of money from summer jobs to attend a concert? Then, get a jumpstart on those summer saving habits and help them reach their goals with our Teen Savings Program (age 13-17). The program encourages teens to save, rewarding them with a $20 VISA gift card after making eight deposits and saving $200. This may be the ticket for your independent teen craving a head start on their financial goals!
A separate savings club tailored to children ages six to 12 encourages young kids to make frequent deposits in exchange for free movie passes. Starting small with the habit of putting a little bit of money away for later will reap big rewards in your child’s future.
Give Your Teen a Leg Up With Financial Literacy Programs
