April is Financial Literacy Month

April is National Financial Literacy Month!  "Originally designated as National Financial Literacy Month in 2004, this observance has evolved to focus on financial literacy and ensure that Americans have access to unbiased and trustworthy financial education and understanding of financial services and products. This observance also includes raising awareness of consumer protection laws as well as consumer education, helping Americans recognize, avoid, and report frauds and scams."

From 2002-2023, Money Smart Week was celebrated during National Financial Literacy Month in April. It has since been retired, but you can check out the their website for great resources on a wide variety of topics including budgeting, retirement, and debt relief!
