What makes April special? Let us count the ways:
April Fool’s Day
Income Tax Day
My Brother’s Birthday
National Frog Month
National Autism Month
No Housework Day
International Guitar Month
. . . and more!
It’s also Financial Literacy Month. Even with 2 days left, it’s worth it to take a minute and get a little education. (And it still counts even if you wait until May!)
Every couple years, the Jump$tart Coalition issues a "personal finance" exam to high school seniors.
The test highlights the importance of personal financial literacy among America's youth and comes at an especially important juncture.
In the last test, 12th graders answered 48.3% correct on average and posted the lowest scores since Jump$tart first issued the test in 1996.
Can you do better? Find out by taking the complete Jump$tart Personal Financial Literacy test for yourself online.
The average adult scores 68%.
