Read NGPF's school-by-school analysis of financial education in America today
Over the last year or two, many major banks have reduced or eliminated overdraft fees: In 2019 banks collected $12.6 billion in overdraft fees compared to $9 billion annually more recently. This week, we hear that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is pushing for even more reform when it comes to overdrafting. Will the reforms work?
This is a story to watch: If the government succeeds in reducing big banks’ ability to collect overdraft fees, these companies will likely find other ways to generate revenue. Will new fee structures work their way in to replace overdraft?
To use with your students: Yanely tackled overdraft fees in a Jan 2022 FinCap Friday: Competition Drives Change. Plus, that Nerdwallet article from up above contains a 9-min audio clip elaborating on junk fees, including those charged by airlines and concert ticket sites.
Why this matters: It’s about to be tax season, so students will want to know all their options for filing. If you live in Arizona, California, Florida, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington State or Wyoming, you might already be hearing about the opportunity from local news sources.
Why this matters: Jessica of NGPF has started writing these Weekend Reads and LOVES meaty insurance topics, so I couldn’t resist sharing. Also, I think it’s meaningful to have perspective on how your community might have these unmet health-related needs and their potential impact to students and their families. It makes me thoughtful about how we talk about and teach budgeting.
When I started working at Next Gen Personal Finance, it's as though my undergraduate degree in finance, followed by ten years as an educator in an NYC public high school, suddenly all made sense.
