The purpose of this study is to develop educational material on debt problems. In order to exam the contents of debt problem material, surveys targeting home economics teachers and high school students were carried out. The results are as follows: 1) 100% of home economics teachers answered that educational materials concerning debt problems are needed. 2) Twenty topics concerning debt problems were selected and investigated the relationship between the knowledge of teachers and the degree of class practice. When the teachers'knowledge is insufficient, they tend to avoid teaching about it. 3) The materials which teachers need most were "the state of debt Kinyu" and "Resolution of debt". 4) High school students tend to recognize that credit cards or installment payments are not debts. 5) The six topics requiring material for teaching debt problems to high school pupils were "adequate money management", "debt surroundings the consumer", "interest rates", "consumer laws about debt", "resolutions of debt" and "what the consumer can do to realize a society with no debt problems"
