What is Financial Literacy?

Student smiling with book in hand

Financial literacy refers to the knowledge and understanding of various financial concepts, such as budgeting, saving, investing, and managing debt.

Being financially literate means having the autonomy to make positive financial decisions for the betterment of your future.

Money is a tool and for some, they don't have the training on how to use this tool.

That is a scary thought for a large number of the population who hasn’t had the training and education on how to invest or build credit or save for a major purchase in their life. Financial literacy empowers people to take control of their financial well-being and make informed decisions.
