Investing Academy.  Knowledge Supports Success. Visit now.

It's November, which means it's Financial Literacy Month (FLM) across Canada. The goal of FLM, now in its seventh year, is to grow financial literacy and empower Canadians to better manage their money. This year's overall theme is "Take charge of your finances: It pays to know!" It's a lesson we think do-it-yourself investors understand well!

Each week in November is further broken down into subthemes, kicking off this year with “Achieve financial well-being."

To follow along with FLM this year, we'll highlight some of our most relevant resources related to the weekly themes. Here are five for this week's theme of achieving financial well-being. Enjoy exploring!
