Students can investigate important questions like "Do you talk about money in your home with your family? How about with your friends? ​ Where do you go to learn about money? Why?" with the NGPF presentation. Students will explore the advice from a family member or trusted adult (teacher, principal, etc). using the "Money Interview". Teachers may also use the previous Money Interview Results document and have the students "categorize" the advice (such as savings, investment, credit, career advice, etc). This allows the students to see what other adults have said and learn from the advice of another adult.

Listen to M.B.A. student Kevin Liang as he shares his experience as a money novice while in college. Listen for his call to action, and think about how you can put his advice into practice. Topics include: Why do you think people often feel uncomfortable discussing their financial situation? What impact does financial literacy have on an individual’s future opportunities and societal inequality? What are the risks and benefits of not discussing financial matters openly? What does the narrator's story tell us about the social stigma associated with discussing money? How can being open about financial struggles and successes benefit individuals and communities? Discuss how early financial education could have changed the narrator’s family situation. What role does early financial education play in preparing for unforeseen financial challenges? Reflecting on the video, why might someone's financial literacy be linked to their family background or upbringing?
