What Is Financial Literacy and Why It Matters

Financial literacy means understanding how money works, how we earn it, spend it, save it, give it, and even grow it. It’s about learning the everyday skills that help us make smart choices with our money.

For children, financial literacy builds confidence, independence, and responsibility from an early age. When children learn to give, save, spend, and invest wisely, they develop habits that last a lifetime. Teaching these lessons early helps families talk openly about money, encourages goal setting, and prepares young people to make thoughtful decisions as they grow.

By turning money lessons into fun, practical activities, we can raise a generation of money-smart children who understand not just how to manage money but how to use it to make a positive difference.
