In The Mix: Financial Literacy - On The Money (Excerpt)

In the Mix is the Emmy award winning PBS documentary series for teens.

Today's teens have more money than ever before, but do they know how to handle it? Co-hosted by Doug E. Doug, this program takes an in-depth look at what teens need to know about money. Experts give tips on opening a checking and savings account and avoiding credit card debt...a growing problem. Teens share advice on how to create a personal budget that really works, and teens with unique jobs show us how they manage their money. Finally, an economics teacher gives clear explanations of terms such as supply and demand, inflation, interest rates, and opportunity cost by showing how they relate to teens' lives.
