As our upcoming generations move away from learning about money and become more increasingly isolated in the financial world, it's become more critical than ever to address the lack of financial literacy in high schools and classrooms. By analyzing the issues that come with this weak personal finance education and the educational structures that cause it, we look at ways that every person, especially the younger generation, can get the resources and tools they need in our ever-changing world. Using Monopoly as a metaphor to explore it, Shubham puts the issue of personal finance in perspective, through the lens of children stepping into adulthood and the real world. However, understanding the reason that most people end up unprepared or in a troublesome system of going paycheck to paycheck comes back to how financial education isn't reinforced, tailored to what students need the most, or evolving fast enough. Thus, it's key to break down our financial literacy and roll the dice with the right tools with us. Shubham Gupta is a senior at Arizona College Prep High School. He’s currently involved with a variety of communities, like Arizona DECA, Speech and Debate, volunteering, and more, which have all helped him build upon my skills in public speaking and allowed him to contribute back to them as a motivated advocate for the issues he deeply cares about. From different conferences, competitions, and events, he’s had the privilege to promote education and its growing significance amidst global issues of any scale. His goal is to eventually keep growing and sharing knowledge with key concepts like financial literacy, and ultimately spread that social impact to corporate America as well.
