One of the goals of Financial Education is to save, cut expenses, save money, and accumulate wealth. It also helps in managing your income, making savings and investment decisions, and practicing conscious consumption.
When we talk about Financial Education, we also aim for a better quality of life for the present and future. It is a way to provide material security and at the same time obtain a guarantee for unforeseen events.
