Financial literacy is defined as the ability to use knowledge and skills to manage financial resources effectively for a lifetime of financial well-being. Financial education promotes stability for individuals and their families. The more an individual knows about credit, banking services, taxes and basic money management, the more likely he or she is to increase savings, buy homes, save for education and improve their financial well-being. Basic financial skills education can be critical to helping such individuals manage their money, protect themselves from predatory practices, plan for their financial future, and increase quality of life.
The Florida Literacy Coalition offers educators and students access to online resources, webinars, and grants for adult basic education/ESOL classes that seek to integrate literacy and math instruction with financial education.
