Personal Finance Home 4

In today’s society, the issue of debt is quite prevalent. The average household credit card debt is $15,607 and the total consumer credit card debt is a staggering $880.5 billion for our great nation. Currently, the total student loan debt for American consumers is $1,120.3 billion. With these numbers, it’s important that the students learn to borrow wisely so that these numbers do not continue to increase. 

YOUR MONEY MATTERS!

Our goal at Bright Star Learning is to equip high school students with the tools they need to make sound financial decisions in their personal finance matters.
