November is Financial Literacy Month in Canada. In fact, this is the 14th year in a row that Canada has officially had Financial Literacy month. Presented by the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada the goal of financial literacy month is to strengthen financial literacy in Canadians and build up their financial resilience. The sad reality for many Canadians is that while we are in school the idea of daily financial literacy isn’t something that is taught. We didn’t learn the importance of a credit score, how to manage debt properly, how to manage our cash flow and why an understanding of your personal finances is so important. Let’s look at why financial literacy is important and then point out some quick tips that can help you feel better about your personal financial situation: https://lnkd.in/gFaJraEc? - #financialliteracy

Did you know that November is Financial Literacy Month in Canada? A month set aside by the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) to teach Canadians about money. Which is great - truly it is. And I do my best every year to talk about it, share about it, make it as easy to understand because sometimes money is the last thing our mind wants to deal with. This year's theme is "Money on your mind. Talk about it!" and that's what I'd like to do - talk about it! Do you work in an office (physically or virtually), or teach in a classroom, or own your own business, and you'd like to have someone come talk about money - then let's connect and make a plan 😁 It doesn't have to be complicated (because money truly isn't) and we can make it fun and interesting. Send me a DM or comment below and we'll connect to talk about the money that's on your mind 🤑 *Photo from the EWB conference in March 2024* #wealthywomenfp #womenhavewealth #financialliteracymonth #FLM2024 #moneyonyourmind #talkaboutit #maritimes #newbrunswick #novascotia #princeedwardisland

Welcome to Financial Literacy Month in Canada! As we kick off this important month, I’m raising my hand to stand with you on the path to debt freedom—together, we will unlock a brighter financial future! It's essential to recognize that financial literacy alone isn't enough—Canadian residents need more! Despite being recognized globally for high financial literacy among adults and youth, household debt continues to be one of the most pressing vulnerabilities in our economy. With record-high debt levels fueled by easy access to credit and a complex digital financial landscape, many find themselves struggling to manage their finances. That’s where the Ontario Debt Elimination Program comes in. Our program goes beyond basic financial education, providing tailored mentorship and financial coaching specifically designed for Ontario residents. We understand that true financial well-being encompasses more than just credit scores and bank balances; it involves the influences of childhood experiences, money mindsets, family dynamics, and overall mental, emotional, and physical health. This program extends beyond Financial Literacy Month, offering continuous support to help you achieve lasting financial independence. Through our initiative, you’ll gain access to personalized resources, expert coaching, and comprehensive support to help you eliminate debt for good. Focus on what truly matters in life and reclaim your financial future. Ready to take the next step?
