Financial literacy across generations

The theme of this third annual Financial Literacy Month is “Financial Literacy across Generations.” The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) has once again partnered with different organizations to raise awareness about FLM and to encourage all ages to participate. This year’s FLM puts the focus on learning or brushing up on the basics of money management at any age and will include events for Canadians of all ages. “Understanding the basics such as budgeting and saving as children is the first step,” said Commissioner Tedesco. “Learning how to manage credit and debt and plan financially provides Canadian youth with the tools they need to navigate through the financial realities of adulthood. Ultimately, this will help to ensure that their finances are in good shape as they enter their retirement years.”
