April is Financial Literacy Month, and the Council for Economic Education has engaged 28 entrepreneurs, economists, and editors to publish their #1 tip for saving money. The social media campaign — dubbed #MySavingsTip — is designed to inspire students to start thinking and talking about money, instead of making the conversation taboo.
Below, find part 1 of the tips from a variety of contributors.
