Recognizing the lack of financial literacy taught to teens in local high schools during the school year. The Leslie County Family and Consumer Sciences agent in partnership with Big Creek Mission summer program presented the Money Habitudes for Teens program. There were 28 teens ages 13-18 in attendance on this day. Each student was able to identify their personal attitude toward money. 93% of the students that participated reported that they had a better understanding of their attitudes and habits toward money. 100% recognized the importance of saving their money. 93% indicated they would try to spend their money more wisely in the future. One student said “this was really eye opening, I need to save my money if I want a car.” Another student said “I need to open a savings account at Hyden Citizens Bank.”
