Research has shown that we form our financial attitudes early, often by the age of seven and so the importance of developing young people’s attitudes towards money early on in life is crucial. Managing one’s finances is more than just being able to ‘do the maths’, it is also about understanding that the decisions we make about money, and our attitudes to the things we can do with it (spending, saving, borrowing, lending and investing) will have an impact on financial security in adult life.
