Podcast Extra: Financial Literacy Month

April is National Financial Literacy Month. It started back in the early 2000s when Congress realized too many Americans were leaving school without the first clue about how to manage a paycheck, a credit card, or a financial future.  Fast-forward to 2026, and the problem hasn’t gone away. Nearly half of U.S. adults still give themselves a C-minus or worse on money knowledge…
Key Points Covered:

• Review one monthly bill and see if you can cut, renegotiate, or cancel it
• Set one small savings goal — even twenty bucks a paycheck counts
• Learn just one new money concept — like how compound interest works for you instead of against you
• Sit down with your partner or your kids and have one honest conversation about money. No judgment, Just real talk
