Many people never received basic lessons on personal finance, which can make it difficult to navigate today’s complex financial options.

Learn how to tackle many of life’s financial challenges by participating in a free series of online lessons from the Pennsylvania Treasury on topics such as establishing a budget, planning for retirement, and managing debt, among others. Each lesson will be presented by a financial professional with extensive knowledge on the subject.

Space is limited, so register now!

As an added incentive, you will earn a chance to win a $529 PA 529 College Savings Plan scholarship each time you participate in a lesson.

Remember, when it comes to economic security, knowledge is power, so don’t miss this opportunity to improve your financial literacy and start on the path toward financial freedom.

Sincerely,

Rob McCord

State Treasurer
