Financial literacy is one of my top priorities.
As families try to save money and balance their budgets right now, we all realize just how important good money management skills are.
As Florida’s Chief Financial Officer, I believe that making smart financial decisions is essential to the future of our state, both in Tallahassee and at the kitchen table. During the last two years, I have joined forces with the Financial Literacy Council to help Floridians better manage their money, from teaching high school students about credit cards to helping families facing foreclosure stay in their homes.
Financial literacy can help us all make smart choices with our money now and in the future. I encourage you to utilize this web site, the Financial Literacy Council programs, and all of the tools from the Department of Financial Services to promote smart spending in your home and in your community.
Together, we can ensure every Floridian has a more secure economic future through smart, responsible financial decisions.
Chief Financial Officer, State of Florida
