Do you realize that every time you do a financial transaction, such as making a savings account withdrawal, buying a U.S. Savings Bond, or contributing to your IRA, you’re potentially affecting your future economic well-being? A group of federal, state and local agencies and national advocacy organizations join forces every year for National Consumer Protection Week.
This year's theme, "Financial Literacy: Earning a Lifetime of Dividends," focuses on practical steps all of us can take to better manage our personal finances. A free package of publications from the Securities and Exchange Commission, Department of Labor, and the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards can help. For additional resources, visit the National Consumer Protection Week web site at http://www.consumer.gov/ncpw/.
