National Show Features Students From Local Finance Education Program
Several students from the Nashville youth program Youth About Business (YAB) are featured in WHAT’S UP IN FINANCE?, a hip, half-hour reality show distributed by American Public Television and hosted by Kwame Jackson (from season one of The Apprentice) that will air on NPT-Channel 8 on May 11 at 7:30 p.m CDT. In the segment “The Dealmakers” two student teams from YAB in Nashville compete in a simulation of a multi-billion dollar business deal.
Youth About Business is a Nashville-based entrepreneurial training program that introduces students to the mechanics of how to successfully run a business.
About WHAT’S UP IN FINANCE?
Recent studies show that financial literacy among young people is at an all-time low. How bad is the problem? Consider this: the number of 18 to 24-year-olds declaring bankruptcy has increased 96 percent in 10 years. University administrators now say they lose more students to credit card debt than to academic failure. It’s clear that a firm grasp of finance can make the difference between success and struggle while opening up a wider variety of career options. For answers and inspiration, WHAT’S UP IN FINANCE features teens and twenty-somethings using their money smarts – and the help of finance professionals – to work toward financial independence.

The best book so far to learn card games is Harrington. I’ve noticed, that lot’s of people improved their skills just by reading it – so I strongly recommend to buy this book and read it. Not only one time, but use it during game. Really improves!
