For Young and Old, April is Financial Literacy Month

There is no escaping what for many is the ugly truth: personal financial management is a life skill. Most people are not comfortable managing their finances. I do not want to delve into the why. My best advice: learn one new financial management skill at a time. Just do it. You will feel good mastering one new skill.

April is Financial Literacy month and helpful articles abound, ranging from teaching your kids about money to financial strategies as you head to retirement. Here is a sampling:

Teach Your Kids About Money – Good reading for parents.

Earning – from TheMint.org, “Earning” is one of my favorite words and an activity that creates positive energy. Earning is for any age. This web site is for kids, tweens and parents.

For the AARP crowd – Tips from finance guru Jean Chatzky.
