The Advertising Council, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Treasury, announced today the launch of a new public service advertising (PSA) campaign designed to encourage young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 to take control of their credit and personal finances.
According to a study conducted by Sallie Mae, more than 50 percent of college students accumulate more than $5,000 in credit card debt while in school. Additionally, Capital One reported that only 10 percent of high schools in America teach financial management and 75 percent of graduating seniors do not understand basic investment principles.
