April is Financial Literacy Awareness Month, a time to focus on building the knowledge and habits that support long-term financial confidence. In recognition of this month, we’re sharing some of our favorite resources through our Financial Literacy Library, designed to help you take simple, practical steps toward your financial goals.

One helpful place to start is a resource from the American Bankers Association, which outlines the basics of creating a financial plan.

Here are a few key takeaways:

• Gather as much information as possible to plan and prepare before creating your financial plan
• Total your monthly take-home income 
• Track your monthly expenses and document everywhere your money goes
• Review and adjust your plan regularly

Financial literacy is a journey, and having the right resources can make all the difference.
