Financial Literacy Workshops
Financial literacy is the ability to understand and effectively use various financial tools which includes budgeting, saving, personal credit, and investing. Financial literacy is the foundation of your relationship with money, and it is a lifelong journey of mastering the tools within your financial tool bag. The earlier you start, the better off you will be because education is the key to success when it comes to money.
Financial literacy includes understanding how a checking account works, what using a credit card really means, and how to avoid debt. Essentially, financial literacy has an enormous impact on families as they try to balance their budget, buy a home, fund their children’s education, and ensure an income for retirement.
