The NHHEAF Network Organizations’ Campaign for Financial Literacy Presented for: EASFAA Tori BerubeRebecca Palmer Vice President, Product MarketingDirector of Education The NHHEAF Network OrganizationsConsumer Credit Counseling Services of NH/VT May 20, 2008

Some Statistics Average credit card debt in America - $9000 (11 cards) NH students have the 2 nd highest student loan debt in the country, on average ($24,800). Only 59%, or roughly 23 million of the young adults in Generation Y, those ages 18-29, pay their bills on time every month. From Clothed, Fed, & Over Their Heads, a recent NHHEAF Network Organizations’ survey of our own borrowers: –The average credit card balance of student borrowers was $3,106. –Consumers carried a higher average credit card balance, averaging $4,433. –82% percent of all college freshmen had at least one open credit card. –42% of college students in the study had 6 or more open credit cards.

The Gap Most college students have little education on financial literacy. –“What’s a FICO?” –Managing a credit card or debit card. Most college students do not make the connection that financial decisions they make today affect their long-term financial goals. –Short-term: Paying rent, car insurance, cell phones, credit cards –Long-term: Mortgages, starting a business, student loans
