As April unfolds, so does Financial Literacy Month—a time dedicated to enhancing understanding
and awareness of financial matters. At CDLI (Community Development Long Island), we recognize the profound impact that financial literacy has on individuals, families, and communities. That's
why we're proud to champion financial education initiatives and empower individuals to navigate their financial futures with confidence.
The Importance of Financial Literacy
Financial literacy is the foundation of financial well-being. It encompasses the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to make informed financial decisions, manage resources effectively, and achieve financial goals. In today's complex financial landscape, where decisions about savings, credit, and homeownership, financial literacy is more crucial than ever.
