Matthew B on 17 Nov 10Mandell, Lewis, and Linda Schmid Klein. "The Impact of Financial Literacy Education on Subsequent Financial Behavior." Financial Counseling & Planning 20.1 (2009): 15-24. Academic Search Complete. EBSCO. Web. 17 Nov. 2010. This article will be fantastic as a counter argument to my paper. Every good paper needs some form of argument against to make the argument for even stronger. The journal is a study based on 79 high school students. These students in years prior had completed a course that dealt with managing their finances. The study showed that these kids were no smarter, or held any knowledge that other students didn't regarding financial literacy and spending. I thought that this journal was great because it showed that it might not even be the education that lead to poor spending. Also the students who took the course even noted that they did not spend their money in the right ways.
