April is Financial Literacy Month

Financial education is very important. It can save marriages, and families, in turn. The education, is a good one and put into place as soon as possible, will help people meet their goals and dreams, both now and in retirement.

91% of Canadians are not going to be able to retire at the standard of living they live before retirement, if they are going to be able to retire at all. The new retirement is Part-time employment. This statistic breaks my heart, and makes me want to educate the world about how money works! What hurts more is that we are not taught the real basics of what we need to know, unless we know the right people. This information is free, why doesn't the general public know it?

Here is a great website for both information as well as tips to help you with your finances.

Check it out. I have a few friends who are amazing at helping and educating families about the ins and outs of the financial world. Do you know of anyone (single or with a family) who would like to know more, or would like to have someone come and look at their specific situation? Please let me know. I would love to connect them together.

Good luck! Have fun learning about how to change your financial world around!

Remember:

Knowledge is ONLY power if it is put into play; otherwise it is just information.
