You wouldn’t drive a car or use heavy machinery without first reading a manual and learning how to operate it safely. Failure to do so could result in loss of life or a devastating injury.

Yet, many Americans think nothing of making decisions about an equally important matter – their personal finances – without the benefit of even the most basic financial education. While this failure rarely leads to loss of life, it can have a devastating impact on a family’s future, resulting in lost dreams and financial instability.

Financial illiteracy is a growing crisis in the United States. The LiSA Literacy Project is determined to reverse that trend by leading a financial education movement. Making financial education available for everyone, especially for women, is a cornerstone of LiSA Initiative.

We want you to invest in you by helping you learn everything possible about how money works and how to put it to work for you. A solid financial education is the greatest gift you can give yourself and your family.

But just don’t take our word for it. Check out this great article from FinancialMentor.com. “7 Key Reasons Why Financial Education is Your Best Investment (If You Think Investment Education Is Expensive, Just Try Ignorance)” is filled with practical advice and spot-on quotes that will inspire you to take action today.

Here’s one of our favorite quotes: “Financial education is the one investment you can never lose. It is like an annuity. It’s a one-time investment that pays dividends [for] the rest of your life. People can steal your money, but no one can ever take your financial education from you. Once you know it, you can never un-know it.”
