State Treasurer Fitch pitches college saving, financial literacy in DeSoto County

Children are state’s ‘treasure’

Who better to make the pitch to set aside savings for their college education than Lynn Fitch, Mississippi State Treasurer…

…”We are No. 1 in poverty — that just breaks my heart,” Fitch told an audience of more than 300 people gathered at Northpoint for the DeSoto County Economic Development Council’s quarterly luncheon.

Fitch said there is a direct correlation between financial literacy — or knowing how to manage money — and literacy and learning.
