It’s no surprise that one in five American teens lack basic financial literacy skills – and considering that only 17 states across the nation mandate personal finance courses in schools, it’s up to parents to ensure their children understand how to properly manage their finances.*
This year, take charge when preparing to send your children back to school and make talking to them about money matters as much of a household priority as any back-to-school checklist item. This time of year is ripe with reasons to talk about personal finance, so be sure to take advantage of the opportunities when they arise.
Here is a way to incorporate finances into activities you and your child(ren) will probably already be doing together to prepare to go back to school:

Primerica Canada is moving its headquarters in Mississauga, ON, just in time for the upcoming 2018 Canadian Convention, which will be held July 27-28 in Toronto.
The Canadian Head Office will occupy more than 43,000 square feet of leased office space that has been completely designed to Primerica’s specifications.
“It is a state-of-the-art office where we can conduct business, continue to grow and add staff, and help more Canadian families become financially independent,” said CEO Glenn Williams.
The move and the convention are two significant milestones for 2018 in Primerica’s 32-year history of doing business in Canada, said Primerica Canada President Jeff Dumanski.
“The premise on Financial Drive will be a centre piece for our representatives to conduct business and meet clients, but will also offer interactive displays, recognition of our sales leaders and showcase our record breaking history in Canada,” said Dumanski.
The same week of the move, Primerica Canada will host its first ever Canada-wide Convention, where thousands of Primerica leaders will convene at the Toronto Congress Centre.
“We’re excited to bring together thousands of Canadians from across the country to a central event in Toronto,” said Williams. “This platform provides the perfect opportunity for previewing initiatives and recognizing the great successes of our Canadian sales force leadership.”
Dumanski added: “Coupling these two events will indeed bring Primerica to the forefront of the financial services industry as we imprint our brand on the next 30 years of ‘Making A Difference.’”

On June 21, Primerica and Invesco teamed up with Make-A-Wish Georgia to host a princess-themed celebration party for a special young girl. Ellie Harper, 11, of McDonough, GA, is bravely battling a metabolic disease, which affects her physical development and growth. Her wish was to go to Disney World with her family and through shared funding by the two companies, it came true earlier this year!
“We love to impact lives everyday in the financial world but there are more important things in life than just finances,” says Primerica CEO Glenn Williams. “Being able to make a dream come true for such a brave young lady is very special for us.”
“Ellie thought that all princesses came from Disney World so we went to Disney World,” says her dad, Jason Harper. “The entire experience is an immense benefit for these children who don’t enjoy life the way a normal child is able to, it really makes them feel special and it may be the highlight of their life.”
More than 27,000 children are diagnosed with a critical illness each year. Through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, one of these children is lucky enough to have their heartfelt wish come true every 34 minutes!
“Wishes are transformational not only for the child, but for the family as well. For them, so much of their time is honestly robbed – the time they spend with siblings, the time for family vacations, etc.,” says Tim Earley, CEO of Make-A-Wish Georgia. “A wish gives them some happiness, some respite and it gives them that normalcy that the majority of us take for granted sometimes.”
Ellie’s party featured plenty of decorations in her favorite color, pink, and her favorite foods. The event was a great reminder of the importance of giving back to the community and what happens when two companies team up to do so.
“Honestly, we can’t create the kind of magic that we create without the help of our community partners like Primerica and Invesco,” adds Earley. “It really takes a community to come together to make all of these things happen from start to finish.”
