Financial Literacy Month is celebrated every April to highlight the importance of financial education and encourage individuals of all ages to develop strong money management skills, including budgeting, saving, investing, credit management, and long-term financial planning.

Burnout isn’t just something adults experience — teens and junior high students can feel it too.
Between school, homework, sports, activities, jobs, family responsibilities, and trying to keep up with friends, it can start to feel like there’s no time to breathe.
If you’re feeling burned out, try to:
• Take short breaks when studying
• Get enough sleep
• Talk to someone you trust
• Spend time doing something you enjoy
• Remember that it’s okay to ask for help
