Class is always in session when it comes to financial literacy

August 14 is National Financial Awareness Day, which serves as a wonderful reminder that much of what children learn about money is picked up at home, not at school. Discussing money at an early age sets children on a path for future financial confidencethat can yield a lifetime of benefits. You can find ideas for every age that your family can explore across topics like saving, budgeting and planning for big expenses at my529.org or Finance in the Classroom.
