Irish Adults have had to learn, very quickly, about finance in the last number of years. The country's, the bank's but most of all, their own - the hard way.
But who is teaching our teenagers? They are the generation charged with paying off our massive debts, yet they are never given the basics in how money really works. Opening bank accounts, managing money or dealing with credit - it's all expected to just come to them.
Well that's not good enough any more. Every child born today arrives into the world owing tens of thousands of Euro. Don't they deserve to know how money works?
Cents & Sensibility aims to do just that.
