April has been declared National Financial Literacy Month–and for good reason given some of these statistics from a recent Harris poll:
- 49 percent of adults report that they have not paid enough attention to managing their finances
- 48 percent are concerned they don’t know enough about financial planning
- 4 out of 10 American workers are not saving for retirement
