Financial education and awareness refer to the knowledge and understanding of financial concepts, including budgeting, saving, investing, and debt management. It involves learning how to make informed financial decisions and developing skills to manage money effectively. Financial education and awareness also involve being aware of potential financial risks and scams and knowing how to protect oneself from them. The goal of financial education and awareness is to empower individuals to take control of their finances and achieve long-term financial stability and success.
