30-DAY CHALLENGE

To support everyday action on financial literacy, we're excited to introduce a 30-Day Challenge for the public to take concrete steps toward transforming their finances. Participants will be asked to complete seven simple tasks and are invited to post their results online.

This challenge is a perfect tool for you to get your clients to have fun all the while taking better control of their finances. Visit our website to learn more about the challenge.

NEW PODCAST EPISODE

Part 1 of a two-part series, we've released a special financial literacy podcast episode featuring Cindy Marques, a Certified Financial Planner and Financial Literacy Advocate, and Laurie Martin, a Certified Trauma Treatment Specialist and Elder Planning Counselor.

The episode tackles the financial challenges millennials face; the changing meaning of retirement; the psychological pressures that can affect a financial plan; and the differences between tracking your spending and having a budget.
