Kids Money Management Learned From Their Parents: (Uh Oh) Harvard Buisiness Journal Daily Stat

OCTOBER 8, 2010
Parents Are Poor Teachers 
of Money Management
Most young people learn money management from their parents, but that method clearly isn't working, say Kayla Allen and Victoria Kinchen of Southeastern Louisiana University.65% of students in a survey say their parents were their teachers in financial matters, but of that group, 28% report saving no money on a monthly basis, 72% never check their credit scores, and 75% have no written budgets. Yet 94% of all the respondents rate their personal financial-management performance as "OK" or better.
