By:  Woolley                                                      H.R. No. 1172



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, It is especially important to the future of Texas 
that our young people learn sound financial management, and to that 
end, the month of April has been designated Youth Financial 
Literacy Month; and
	WHEREAS, Personal money management skills and lifelong 
habits develop early, and while more than half of U.S. college 
students acquire their first credit card during their freshman 
year, few are prepared to handle this important responsibility; and
	WHEREAS, Many parents feel ill-equipped to teach their 
children how to shape their financial future, and schools offer 
little in the way of formal education in this area; and
	WHEREAS, Youth Financial Literacy Month heightens awareness 
of this critical problem and provides an opportunity for young 
Texans to learn about budgeting, saving, investing, and the use of 
credit; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby commend all those associated with Youth 
Financial Literacy Month and encourage parents, teachers, and other 
leaders to help their children and students gain practical money 
management skills.
