Capital One Financial Corporation
Capital One Financial's (NYSE:COF) fifth annual back-to-school shopping survey shows that parents are missing the perfect opportunity to talk to their kids about making the most of their shopping dollars. This year's survey finds that more than 83 percent of high school and middle school students expect their parents to join them on back- to-school shopping trips, but an overwhelming 91 percent say their parents have not taken the time to discuss their back-to-school finances with them. The survey also finds that nearly 60 percent of parents will spend more than $125 per child on back to school costs this year, yet only a quarter of them are taking the time to discuss back to school budgeting.
