Financial Literacy Month
Financial literacy is the ability to understand and effectively use various financial skills, including personal financial management, budgeting, and investing. The meaning of financial literacy is the foundation of your relationship with money, and it is a lifelong journey of learning.
November is National Financial Literacy Month. Each year, McMaster’s Human Resources Services supports an educational initiative focused on strengthening the financial literacy of faculty and staff, empowering them to manage their money wisely and to understand their financial rights and responsibilities.
This year’s campaign theme is “Money on your mind. Talk about it!” This years campaign aimed at destigmatizing conversations about money by encouraging Canadians to share their financial experiences and ask questions.
