What the Next Generation Wants to Know About Money—And How We’re Helping Them Find the Answers

April is Financial Literacy Month, and at Nuvision, it’s more than just a date on the calendar—it’s a call to action.

We believe that building the life you want starts with understanding how money works. Unfortunately, for too many young people, that knowledge is hard to come by. In many of the markets we serve, public school systems are falling short when it comes to preparing students for real-life financial responsibilities. The reality is that most teens graduate without ever learning how to budget, use credit responsibly, avoid debt traps, or save for their future.

That’s where we come in.

This April, we asked the next generation one simple question: What do you want to know about money? The answers were honest, eye-opening, and in many cases,  moving. They weren’t asking about stock tips or interest rates. They were asking how to avoid debt. How to save. How to afford college. How not to repeat the mistakes they’ve seen adults around them make.

Financial literacy matters. And we’re doing something about it.

Next Gen

Throughout Financial Literacy Month, we’ll be sharing their stories—and more importantly, the resources to help answer their questions. From videos and real-life tips to how-to guides and webinars, we’re giving young people the tools to build confidence and take control of their financial futures.

We’ve also launched the Financial Wellness Center on our website, a one-stop resource hub for people of all ages. Whether you’re a teen learning the basics, a college student facing student loans, or an adult trying to break free from credit card debt, you’ll find practical, straightforward help for every stage of life.

When you know how to manage your money, you feel more in control of your financial future. You stress less. You make smarter decisions. And you’re better prepared for life’s financial hurdles.

Why this matters now more than ever

We’re facing a nationwide epidemic of financial illiteracy. Credit card misuse. Crushing debt. Little or no savings. No retirement plan. It's leading to more bankruptcies, more dependence on government aid, and more anxiety about the future. Knowing how to manage your money can ease the worries of building your financial future.

At Nuvision, we’re working to change that.

Right now, we’re in our eighth month of teaching the How Money Works program at Costa Mesa High School in Southern California. Every month, we’re in the classroom talking with students about real-life money management—how to budget, how credit works, how to stay out of debt—things they’re not learning anywhere else but absolutely need to know.

We also bring in top experts in money and the economy to help people stay informed. Our most recent 2025 Economic Forecast Webinar featured a couple of the best voices in the industry breaking down what’s happening with interest rates, inflation, and housing—and what it all means for your day-to-day finances.

Because we believe everyone deserves a shot at building the life they want.

Helping the next generation starts here

This April, we’re putting the spotlight on what the next generation really wants to know about money—and we’d love for you to be part of it.

Follow us on social media to see what students and young adults are asking, what they’re up against, and how we’re helping them get the answers they need. We’ll be sharing their stories, tips, and easy-to-use tools all month long.

And if you haven’t checked it out yet, take a look at our Financial Wellness Center. It’s full of practical info for every age and every stage of life—whether you're trying to get out of debt, save more, or just get a handle on your finances.

The goal? Give everyone a solid shot at building a better future—starting with the basics.
