April is National Financial Literacy Month

Did you know that April is National Financial Literacy Month? That’s right, there’s a whole month dedicated to increasing financial literacy. I like to think that around here it’s a 24/7 financial literacy marathon, but a lot of media outlets and finance blogs will be joining forces over the next few weeks to bring financial information to the masses.

One of the best resources will be the Financial Literacy Month website presented by Money Management International. Each year, MMI helps put together a great collection of articles, information, and tools to help people learn more about their finances and begin to make better decisions with their money.

This year, MMI has partnered with a number of financial websites and blogs to help bring this information to the masses and I’m proud to be a part of this effort. Starting April 1st and over the following 30 days, you’ll be able to take the 30 day challenge and read articles from these participating sites. You’ll see my contribution on April 14th. In the meantime, you can do your part to help spread the word about Financial Literacy month by writing about it or talking about it on Twitter. They are using the hash tag #FLM to help highlight this event.

And if you want, you can always put the following badge on your site for the month of April. You can find the code to easily copy and paste into your blog here. So, let’s help spread the word and help make this the best financial literacy month yet.
