As Georgia students prepare to graduate and take their next steps, the Georgia Department of Education is working to make sure they have a better handle on something many adults wish they had learned earlier: how to manage their money.
This spring, all graduating seniors statewide – more than 124,000 students – will receive a copy of The Talk (About Money): A Young Adult’s Guide to the One Decision That Changes Everything by Dale Alexander, a Georgia native and Certified Financial Planner. Books will be distributed to high schools across the state for students in the class of 2026.
