Home | National Financial Literacy Strategy Why financial literacy matters In today's fast-paced consumer society, financial literacy is an essential everyday life skill. It means being able to understand and negotiate the financial landscape, manage money and financial risk effectively and avoid financial pitfalls. Improving financial literacy can benefit anyone, regardless of age, income or background. It helps you make informed financial choices, day-to-day and throughout your life. The National Financial Literacy Strategy was developed in 2011 to provide a national direction for this priority area. The Strategy recognises that improving financial literacy is a long-term journey that requires a multi-faceted and nationally co-ordinated approach, with sustained action by multiple stakeholders.

The Best Credit Report Services for 2018 - Reviews.com AnnualCreditReport.com is the kind of website that still uses the words “dot com” in its name. The design is outdated; it was difficult to navigate; and getting our free credit reports was a slow and frustrating process. However, AnnualCreditReport.com is the only source for your free credit reports, and it’s authorized by federal law. It says so right on the site. AnnualCreditReport.com is jointly run by the Big Three Bureaus in order to comply with FACTA, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003. That’s also why we still opted to recommend AnnualCreditReport.com even though it didn’t fully pass all our criteria (it only provides credit reports, not credit scores). There are a lot of good reasons to use AnnualCreditReport.com as your credit report service, starting with the whole “Authorized by Federal Law” thing. Be aware that your free credit report is exactly what it sounds like: a long, sometimes confusing report. For some people, that’s enough.

How to Measure Your Financial Literacy Do you think you have a solid handle on how money works? Do you want to take a pop quiz to find out? The FINRA Investor Education Foundation offers the following five-question financial literacy test: 1. Suppose you have $100 in a savings account earning 2 percent interest a year. After five years, how much would you have? Answer choices: More than $102, exactly $102 or less than $102. 2. Answer choices: More, same or less. 3. Answer choices: Rise, fall, stay the same or no relationship. 4. 5. If your mind shut down after seeing the numbers in the first question, you’re not alone. While measuring financial literacy is notoriously challenging, this quiz has been widely embraced and used by financial literacy experts. It’s no surprise then that the group that scores lowest on the quiz – millennials – also struggles most on other measures of financial capability. Also concerning is that women tend to get lower scores on the financial literacy quiz than men. Ready to find out how you scored?
