LIVINGSTON — Continuing the Department’s ongoing financial literacy program,  Banking and Insurance Commissioner Ken Kobylowski told a class of Livingston High School students that basic financial concepts such as maintaining  a personal budget, balancing checkbooks and using credit cards judiciously were the key to their future financial success.
