| Chrystia Freeland @ Chicago Ideas Week |
This week’s Video of the Week is Chrystia Freeland’s “The Truth About the Growing Income Gap”. Inspired by National Financial Literacy Month (April means tax season!), here are 5 ways you to act on any budget:
- Empower students to build a better future: Moneythink offers ten-week financial literacy and entrepreneurship courses for urban high school students that focus on building critical life skills like money management, leadership, and goal setting.
- Keep track of your financial goals and stay accountable by using LearnVest – a financial planning program completely customized to you! No personal finance book can give you these kind of personal recommendations.
- Providing financial solutions for investors of every kind, The Motley Fool is a fun and easy tool aimed “to educate, amuse and enrich”. Want to invest better and take control of your financial life? Do it today with help from The Motley Fool!
- Take charge of your personal finances by taking advice from Suze Orman, internationally acclaimed personal finance expert. Watch her CIW Talk or visit her site for books, resources and the hard truth about your money!
- Start teaching your family about money matters – early! Have the “money talk” with help from TheMint.org. Reevaluate your personal finance knowledge and habits by taking a short quiz.
