National Financial Literacy Month

April is National Financial Literacy month, declared in 2003 by President Obama to extend from just Youth Financial Literacy Day to the month being designated toward developing smart money management habits. We spoke with Route 7, an organization designed for men to speak to accountability in all aspects of life.
