Right now, everyone is focused on finding the cure for our current economic crisis. Bailouts, recovery plans and billion-dollar loans hopefully will get our economy back on firm footing soon. But we also need to look at the long-term, big picture of what will propel our economy into the future. And I believe that can be accomplished by reinventing the driver of our success: a world-class education.
We all know the importance of the three Rs in education - "reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic". But also knowing how to earn, save, spend and give money -financial literacy - seems more important than ever in this era of foreclosures, credit card debt and recession.
