Pre-Teens and Teens Are Your Window of Opportunity
|
|
Research by the federal government has found that teenagers are heavily engaged in the American workforce, but do not always make the smartest choices with the money they earn. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that approximately 3 million teenagers between the ages of 15 and 17 are employed during the school year, and 4 million are employed during the summer.
Teens account for billions of dollar in wages, but they often manage their money irresponsibly. Research shows that teens rarely use their money to contribute toward family expenses and instead spend heavily on consumer items such as take-out food and fad clothing. The desire to purchase consumer goods is so strong among teens that they often are preyed upon by credit card companies charging high interest rates.
The debt that many teens develop during their younger years often accumulates into adulthood, resulting in poor credit scores and even bankruptcies. Nearly 2.1 million bankruptcy cases were commenced in U.S. courts in 2005, a staggering 30 percent increase over 2004 figures.
