​Financial Literacy: Build Skills for Everyday Money Decisions

Financial literacy means understanding how to earn, manage, save, borrow, and protect your money. This training will help you create a realistic budget, understand your paycheck and credit, prepare for housing expenses, recognize financial scams, and make decisions that support your employment, housing, and long-term goals.
You do not need to know everything about money before you begin. The goal is to learn practical skills that you can use one step at a time.
