Subject: | Financial Literacy Month Resolution |
I intend to introduce a resolution recognizing April 2014 as “Financial Literacy Month.” Sound economic practices are best formed in the childhood years. Financial literacy is critical in assisting our young people to avoid poor financial management choices, which can haunt them for years. It is linked to lower delinquency rates for mortgage borrowers, better utilization of retirement plans, improved spending and saving habits and increased net worth. Pennsylvanians of all ages can benefit from sound financial literacy. Please join me in recognizing the importance of this crucial piece of the educational puzzle by recognizing April 2014 as “Financial Literacy Month.” |
