Financial Education

A strong financial education is the foundation for a lifetime of security and certainty.

Life insurers are uniquely positioned to address savings gaps – and that starts with access to financial education.

Many Americans feel they missed out on essential financial education, making it harder to plan ahead. That’s why life insurers are using smart partnerships, programs and long-term investments to empower Americans for financial success.

Only 17% of U.S. adults said they took a personal finance class in high school.

66% of middle-income Americans feel their education did not adequately prepare them to manage finances as adults.

Nearly one-third of U.S. adults have weak longevity literacy and don’t understand the retirement planning landscape for 65-year-olds.
