SUGGESTED VIDEO: Book teaching kids about money mindfulness and financial literacy

David Delisle’s “The Golden Quest” teaches kids about finance in a fun way.

This comes after Gov. Gavin Newsom reached an agreement with state leaders and NGIF Mission, an affiliate of the curriculum company Next Gen Personal Finance.

“We need to help Californians prepare for their financial futures as early as possible. Saving for the future, making investments, and spending wisely are lifelong skills that young adults need to learn before they start their careers, not after,” Newsom said. 

The legislation aligns with the state’s efforts to prepare students early for “a healthier financial future.” 

The California Personal Finance Education Act measure, which was eligible for the Nov. 2024 ballot, has been withdrawn.
