Per capita income of Idaho
residents is in the bottom ¼ of all states in the U. S.
Our state’s residents have credit indebtedness and bankruptcy
in the top ¼ of the U. S. To
improve the financial literacy and money management practices of
Idahoans, Extension Educators write articles for newsletters and
publications. We teach
classes on goal setting, wise buying practices, budgeting, financial
record keeping, credit use, savings and investments.
We provide publications and the High School Financial Planning
Program (www.nefe.org). In 1995, three Extension Educators founded the Idaho
Financial Literacy Coalition (www.idahoflc.org),
a non-profit group of individuals employed in education, business,
government and non-profit agencies whose mission is to increase the
quality and quantity of financial management education in Idaho.
