It is a good day for financial literacy with Treasurer Jovita Carranza spearheading the re-energizing and re-strategizing of financial education in this country through the initiatives of the Financial Literacy Education Committee (FLEC). The FLEC is a group of government agencies, non-profits and private companies that are working together to synergize their financial literacy efforts.

Financially CLEAN is looking forward to seeing the wheels of change turn so more people, especially young people, start making more informed decisions in the reduction of debt, building of wealth and a secure retirement.
