Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan (FCAA) in partnership with Saskatchewan credit unions are celebrating financial literacy month by reminding Saskatchewan people that it is never too early, or too late, to start learning about money.

"Financial literacy month is a national initiative that highlights the importance of financial knowledge," FCAA Chair and CEO Dave Wild said. "No one wants to learn about money management the hard way. Take advantage of resources that are available and learn how to budget, invest wisely and save for a rainy day."

FCAA and Saskatchewan credit unions are helping Saskatchewan citizens make responsible financial decisions. Tips, advice and links to resources will be tweeted and posted on Facebook so people can learn how to responsibly manage their money.

"Credit unions build lives by helping members achieve financial well-being," SaskCentral CEO Keith Nixon said. "Financial literacy is an important life skill that has benefits for individuals and our economy."

Saskatchewan credit unions have been involved with the delivery of financial literacy lessons in schools for several years. Credit unions also offer guidance and information to members at various stages in their lives whether it's opening their first account, buying a house, or saving for retirement.
