Teen Cash Guide by Martin Lewis

This new initiative by Martin Lewis is worthy of support in order to educate the youth about financial management issues:

Urgent! Help get financial ed in schools!
Please ask your MP to support the new 'All Party Parliamentary' campaign

Since student loans launched 20 years ago, as a nation, we've educated our youth into debt but never about debt. Now student loans are set to get bigger & costlier, enough's enough. We need consumer finance education in EVERY school.

Teaching kids about money, debt, saving and not being impulse driven is the most potent solution we have to mis-selling scandals, debt crisis, economic inefficiencies, so we must act.financial education

Please email your MP (takes 2 mins)

In the last few months we've been working with Justin Tomlinson MP and pfeg (personal finance education group) on the launch of the first ever 'All-Party Parliamentary Group for Financial Education'. This will allow all MPs to gang together, we need your help to persuade 'em.

·         Go to Parliament.uk. Enter your postcode into Parliament.uk then click on the link to your MP's name (not website) and check for an email address.

·         Email them a message. Here's a template for inspiration - highlight the text from here, then copy it (CTRL & C) and paste it (CTRL & V) into your email. If possible, please personalise it with your views and experience.

As your constituent, I'm writing to ask that you join the 'All-Party Parliamentary Group for Financial Education for Young People', launching on 31 Jan 2011.

On the back of a debt-ridden financial crisis and tuition fee rise, I think ensuring young people understand money, consuming and debt is more important than ever. I'm not alone; 97% of a poll of 8,000 supported compulsory financial education in schools (source: MoneySavingExpert.com) and more than 30,000 people signed FinancialEducationPetition.com.

It'd prevent mis-selling and create better informed consumers, maybe meaning fewer future financial crises. The APPG will allow you to represent me & others. You can join by contacting Justin Tomlinson MP's office. Please let me know your intentions.

Yours sincerely, ENTER YOUR NAME & POSTCODE
