According to an Edward Jones survey, 84% of Canadians feel that financial education in school could have reduced their financial stress today. That's why we are excited to offer Financial Fitness—a program designed to help Canadians develop their financial knowledge. Edward Jones also continues to offer our existing Financial Fitness program for high school students. As part of this initiative, high school teachers can access a complimentary digital financial education course. This resource helps students understand investing fundamentals and the global marketplace to build a strong financial foundation.

November is Financial Literacy Month...!!! “Money on your Mind. Talk about it!” Talking about money remains a taboo for many Canadians. People can find it difficult to discuss financial matters, such as personal debt, with family and friends. Many feel shame or embarrassment, or are worried about being judged. Research shows that talking about money builds financial confidence, and can lead to better financial outcomes. This is especially true for women. This November, FCAC is launching its Money on your Mind. Talk about it! campaign aimed at destigmatizing conversations about money by encouraging Canadians to share their financial experiences and ask questions. FCAC wants Canadians to take action in November by “doing one thing” to boost their financial confidence, such as checking their credit score, talking to a friend about budgeting, or asking questions to a trusted financial professional. During the campaign, Canadians can also engage in conversations on social media with the #MoneyOnYourMind challenge. Credits: https://lnkd.in/gTP7AxtH
