"Accessing the American Dream of financial self-sufficiency is not based on obtaining a loan or buying a new car; it is the very basics of education - knowing the importance of savings, how to balance a checkbook, budgeting, or investing for retirement.

Financial education fosters financial stability for individuals and entire communities. The more people know about credit and financial services, the more likely they are to increase savings, become homeowners, and improve their financial health and well-being." - NCUA Chairman JoAnn Johnson, Member, Financial Literacy and Education Commission.
