National Financial Literacy Month may prompt some to consider consumer credit counseling
By Sam Craine on Apr 1st, 2010
While some consumers continue to work on their financial skills, National Financial Literacy Month marks a time when they may try and put in a little more effort.
Throughout April, people are being encouraged to increase their knowledge of how to manage their personal finances. A recent survey from Money Management International showed that 33 percent of respondents felt as though they should have the most responsibility when it comes to their education in this realm.
In order to help consumers provide themselves with that education, Money Management International has set up a website at www.FinancialLiteracyMonth.com. There, consumers will find a step they can take every day in April to better position themselves in the financial realm.
"We have always known that financial education is important," Kim McGrigg, community manager for the company, wrote in a blog post on its site.
Along with the 30 steps, people may find it helpful to consider consulting with a consumer credit counseling service. Such firms can help people by analyzing their finances and setting up a budget based on their income.
