Financial Literacy: Building a Foundation for Wealth and Stability
Gwendolyn Woods
Financial literacy is the knowledge and ability to manage money effectively—from budgeting and saving to investing and protecting assets. It empowers individuals to make informed decisions, avoid debt traps, and prepare for life’s uncertainties. Understanding
key areas like credit, insurance, retirement planning, and estate preservation is essential to building long-term financial health. In today’s economy, financial literacy isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity for economic independence, generational wealth, and community
resilience.
Lunch is $35 or a $10 donation without lunch to Richmond Rotary Club is appreciated. Use the Lunch button in the upper right corner of the website (richmondcarotary.org) to pay for lunch or
