Financial Education in Vermont

Being "financially literate" means you have the knowledge, skills and habits to successfully manage your money. I believe that empowering every person in the State of Vermont with an understanding of how to plan his or her financial future is one of the best investments we can make. A growing body of research shows a wide range of benefits to individuals, families and communities where its citizens are actively practicing sound money management skills. Such skills include using a budget or plan for monthly spending; regularly saving some of today's money for tomorrow's needs; managing your use of credit to avoid over-extending yourself; and investing funds to allow your money to grow.

Right now, Vermonters are working in their local communities and schools to teach these skills. Be sure to use the Vermont Financial Education Resource Clearinghouse to locate classes and materials available to you in your local area. Also, check out the links on the left side of this page. We've worked hard to organize financial education resources for you so that you can quickly get to information you can use. Let us know if there are other topics or resources you'd like to see on these pages. Your feedback is appreciated. I hope these pages help you continue to move forward toward a more financially secure future.

Sincerely,

Jeb Spaulding
