Financial Literacy

Financial Literacy according to Wikipedia is “the possession of the set of skills and knowledge that allows an individual to make informed and effective decisions with all of their financial resources. In other words, being financially literate means that you are educated and understand how money is made, spent, saved and invested. This allows you to take responsible action for your personal, family, community and global goals.
