CFPB Releases Its 2018 Financial Literacy Annual Report

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has released the 2018 Financial Literacy Annual Report and made it available to the general public on the agency's website . In reading the report, people will discover the numerous tools and programs the CFPB provides to help enhance the financial knowledge and skills of Americans nationwide, from childhood to one's senior years, so they can build financial well-being. Financial education is a big part of the agency's mission to empower citizens to take more control over their economic lives. The 2018 Financial Literacy Annual Report details how the CFPB works toward this goal by: one, providing financial education directly to the public; two, sharing research on effective financial education and financial well-being with financial educators; and, finally, addressing needs for inclusion and financial security of older Americans, military service members and veterans, historically underserved communities, and students.
