The provincial securities commission is helping parents and teachers talk to youth about financial matters. A financial literacy program has been released called, "Make it Count: A Parent's Guide to Youth Money Management." A recent survey shows 59 per cent of New Brunswickers have not taught their children about personal finance.
The guide is available on-line and in print and teaches responsible budgeting, saving and debit card use. It also gives parents ideas on how to discuss smart money decisions with their children.
