This House Resolution expresses support for the goals and ideals of "Financial Literacy Month" , aiming to raise public awareness about the critical importance of personal financial education in the United States. It also highlights the serious consequences that can arise from a lack of understanding regarding personal finances, citing issues like high rates of unbanked households and significant consumer debt. The resolution calls upon the Federal Government, States, localities, schools, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and the general public to actively observe "Financial Literacy Month" through appropriate programs and activities. This collective effort seeks to improve financial literacy nationwide, addressing concerns such as the low percentage of adults with budgets and the limited number of states requiring personal finance courses for high school graduation.
