Financial Literacy Month is a celebration and a challenge. It’s an excellent time to review and improve your financial knowledge. It’s also a chance to reflect on the state of our personal finances and take steps to improve them one at a time.

Whether you’re just starting out or have been working for a while, it’s never too late to learn about saving and improving your financial situation. A goal of National Financial Literacy Month is to encourage people to determine their financial weaknesses, develop a budget, increase financial knowledge and learn about savings to improve their finances.

The Virginia Cooperative Extension – Prince William (VCE) offers several classes to help people with financial literacy, including Building a Spending Plan, Loans and Lending, Understanding Your Credit, Avoiding Frauds and Scams, and Rental Basics, among others. Visit Money for more information on how to improve financial literacy.

CFPB is working with other federal agencies that serve on the Financial Literacy and Education Commission to bring resources to help consumers manage their finances this month, and beyond.
