Grow assets
Saving and Investing for the Future
Saving versus investing, where money sits, what interest and time do, a plan at work and the match, and three habits that matter more than picking winners.
Protect money
Recognizing and Preventing Financial Fraud and Scams
Why newcomers are targeted, the four red flags, Stop · Check · Talk, and what to do in the first hour if money has already gone.
Understand rights
Understanding Consumer Rights in the United States
Bank accounts, credit reports, debt collectors, loans, renting and signing — which rules are national, which depend on the state, and how to ask for it in writing.
Plan for retirement
Retirement Basics and Long-Term Financial Planning
The three sources of retirement income, the match, IRAs, what happens when you change jobs, and the four pieces — beneficiaries, insurance, documents, family.
