MORRISON: There s been some great research in the last several years. In fact, one piece of research compared two states side by side one where there was financial education, one when there wasn t.

As a country, we ve seen millions of Americans, with a general lack of financial planning, struggle every day with their money, only to wind up deep in debt.
Various industry research found that 2 on 3 families lack any type of emergency savings; 78% of adults live paycheck to paycheck, and 3 in 5 adults do not maintain a monthly budget.

Yet they are expected to make big financial decisions about student loans and budgeting for living expenses after graduation.
