Elements of Money®

If you’re a teen between 13 to 17 years old, you may have financial questions, and SRP offers the Elements of Money® website to our teen members to help answer those questions.

Learn how to plan for college expenses. Interested in buying a car? Find out how much driving a car can cost. Can you get a credit card? Find out.

There are articles on matters that are important to you, plus podcasts, quizzes, videos, and more. Are you more into social media and contests? Elements of Money® has it all.

SRP Financial Counselors

SRP’s Certified Financial Counselors are here to help you solve your money issues and take control of your finances. They can also teach your teens the fundamentals of budgeting, including setting financial goals, tracking income and expenses, and creating a realistic spending plan.

By understanding the concept of budgeting, they will be able to manage their money effectively and develop a habit of saving.

Our counselors have extensive training and are certified to extend financial counseling services. Through our in-person, individual assistance, they will help you chart a path to achieving financial wellness through financial counseling and education.

Our counselors also work with groups virtually and in person, teaching financial literacy to all ages free of charge.
