Why is Financial Literacy important?
Financial literacy holds immense significance for individuals, communities, and economies. Equipping people with knowledge about managing money empowers them to make informed decisions about savings, investments, and debt.
This knowledge fosters better decision-making, safeguards against scams, and promotes economic stability. By understanding financial concepts, individuals can plan for retirement, pursue entrepreneurship, and pass down savvy financial habits to future generations. Ultimately, financial literacy reduces stress, enhances quality of life, and contributes to a more prosperous and equitable society.
