November is Financial Literacy Month
Learning how to manage your money is key to achieving your financial goals
Your financial journey begins and ends with choices that will have an affect on you and your family for years to come – having the knowledge to understand what you need to do will bring you a wealth of benefits.
Helping Canadians strengthen their financial knowledge
The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada is promoting 15 years of celebrating Financial Literacy Month, keeping with the goal of improving Canadian’s financial health and well-being. This year’s theme is “talk money” and encourages open conversations and breaking down the stigma that often comes with sometimes difficult discussions.
Research shows that open conversations about money can boost financial confidence and lead to better financial outcomes. Let’s talk about money!
Try the $15 stretch challenge!
Share your strategies on how you make $15 go a long way. Do you have grocery shopping tips, a knack for finding a good deal or any smart spending stories that might inspire others? Use #FLM2025 or #TalkMoney and join in the conversation on social media.
Visit the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada’s website to learn more about this year’s challenges.
