BACKGROUND

What is financial literacy?
Financially literate consumers not only manage money with more confidence, but also have a better chance of handling the inevitable ups and downs of their financial lives by understanding how to prevent and manage issues as they arise.

That can mean keeping a close eye on their bank and credit card accounts so they’re aware of potential fraud as soon as possible, or being able to recover from a costly unexpected car repair quickly thanks to ample cash savings. On the other hand, financial literacy can help consumers save diligently for things that matter to them, such as a vacation or their child’s college education.

Here are some ways how being financially literate can change your life:

  • Understanding of how much you earn and spend. 
  • Financial stability — Repay and avoid debt.
  • Protect yourself from debt and bankruptcy. 
  • Work towards a secure retirement.

CHALLENGE
