In 2003, the U.S. Senate passed a resolution designating April as 鈥淔inancial Literacy Month.鈥� This month, financial literacy shares the calendar with many other important topics: Stress Awareness, Earth Month, Alcohol Awareness, Arab American Heritage Month,聽Autism Acceptance Month and others. That鈥檚 a lot to keep in mind in April alone!
Perhaps because April is also the month that taxes come due, the importance of financial literacy seems to come into sharper focus as the 15th approaches 鈥� at least briefly. Then people revert to forgetting what they need to know, or wish they knew, and the cycle of mistakes and missed opportunities begins again. 鈥淚鈥檒l think about financial literacy next April!鈥�
