This is a perfect time for young people to become familiar with basic (and not so basic) concepts of financial well-being. Your high school or college probably has something planned for financial literacy month. Whether it’s a month long event or a webinar/seminar on financial health, you should consider participating. Find out about credit scores, interest rates, investing, personal loans, college loans, car loans, co-signers, the stock market, etc. If you have a bank account already see if your banking institution is doing anything for financial literacy month, again, plan to take part.
ICAN is also bringing focus to financial literacy in April with the following free events:
