California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed a bill requiring high school students take a one-semester personal finance course as a condition for graduation.

California is the 26th state to require high school students take a stand-alone personal finance class.

As a proponent of this legislation and co-founder of Next Gen Personal Finance, I am elated that with the stroke of Newsom's pen, fully 64% of all U.S. high schoolers will be required to take a one-semester personal finance course as a condition for graduation.With a good credit score, ‘doors will open.

Every student in the state — regardless of where they go to school or their economic status — will now have equal opportunity to learn such vital 21st century skills including budgeting, credit management and understanding financial options for career or college.
