National Strategy for Financial Literacy (PDF)
Americans can only manage their money and other assets if they understand what they own, and they are better able to improve their own economic situations if they understand the basics of finance.
Taking Ownership of the Future: The National Strategy for Financial Literacy is the game plan for improving financial education in America. The Strategy was called for by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions (FACT) Act of 2003, which also directed the Treasury Department to lead a group of 9 other federal agencies, officially called the Financial Literacy and Education Commission (Commission), in an effort to help Americans learn more about their money.
The Strategy looks at a variety of important topics such as homeownership, credit management, retirement savings, and many other issues and describes the challenges and the solutions. It also encourages Americans to take advantage of the many tools to help them save money to buy a home, properly plan for retirement, or better manage their monthly household income.
