NOVEMBER IS HERE!!!!
The year 2015 is inching every bit closer. Soon it will be a time to reflect on what you've accomplished for this year, what you will accomplish for the next and what changes will you be making.
What better way to prepare for 2015, than to ensure your financial future is in order. The economy is changing. Are you? How confident are you that you'll be financially secure in the next 5, 10, 20 years? Does your family rely on your income? Are you prepared if the unthinkable should happen?
NOVEMBER IS FINANCIAL LITERACY AWARENESS MONTH
Without access to financial literacy support, low income earners are at greater risk of slipping further into poverty. Middle class Canadians are increasingly indebted, wages are stagnated and are unlikely to move into higher income brackets but yet, more debt is accumulated.
This month, events are organized across Canada to educate and engage with the public regarding the need for financial literacy and promote services available to the public.
The need for financial literacy in Canada has been highlighted by the Investor Education Fund’s (IEF) study on Ontarians, discovering that only 3 out of 10 Ontarians are aware of typical priorities and strategies for long-term saving and even fewer know how financial priorities change with age.
The purpose of this month is to educate the public so Canadians are equipped to:
- Provide for themselves and their family
- Invest in their future and the future of their children
- Contribute to the community as a good citizen
- Know what services are available to Ontarians to help them achieve their financial goals.
For the next few weeks, I will be reaching out to individuals and families to raise awareness of the need for financial literacy and highlight the programs, services and tools available to Canadians in order to help improve your financial knowledge, skills, confidence and financial situations thereby reaching your goals.
Looking forward to getting together
Be Blessed All.
Cheers.
