Financial Literacy Month
April is a special month called "Financial Literacy Month," which is when we learn about important things we can do with our money. Just like how we learn about reading and writing in school, being financially literate means we learn about how to manage our money, save it, and make good choices with it when we grow up.
Some things we might learn about during Financial Literacy Month include:
1. Budgeting: Making a plan for how we will spend our money each month, to make sure we have enough to cover all the things we need and save some for things we want.
2. Saving: Putting our money in a safe place like a savings account so we can use it for emergencies or things we want to buy later.
3. Investing: Putting our money into things like stocks or real estate that can grow over time and make us even more money.
4. Credit: Learning about how to use credit cards responsibly and how to build good credit, which is important for making big purchases like a car or a house.
By being financially literate, we can make better choices with our money and feel more in control of our future.
