Lieteracy is a huge problem in the U.S. and I don’t just mean the ability to read.  For college students in particular, I am referring to financial literacy.  The proliferation of credit cards and the ever-present temptation of using college loans for personal wants may lead students down a dangerous path.  Parents can be important teachers of financial literacy.  What successful strategies have you used to teach financial literacy to your kids?  Please share your own best practices with your parent peers here and/or on Hoverings: A Blog for Current and Future Parents at www.collegeparents.org
