SDCCU provides resources focused on improving financial health as part of SDCCU’s Financial Wellness Wednesdays

SAN DIEGO, Calif., (August 9, 2024) – San Diego County Credit Union® (SDCCU®), one of Southern California’s largest locally-owned financial institutions, is committed to building a strong foundation for overall financial security and wellness in the community through its support of National Financial Awareness Day on August 14. Throughout August, SDCCU will present weekly educational webinars focused on financial awareness for various stages of life as part of SDCCU’s Financial Wellness Wednesdays. Topics include: Teaching Kids About Money Matters, 10 Steps to Financial Freedom, Achieving Money Milestones and Long-Term Care: The Great Income Gap.

“We are pleased to do our part in helping to educate the community in support of National Financial Awareness Day,” said Teresa Campbell, SDCCU president and CEO. “Strong financial principles will apply universally throughout your life, regardless of your age or financial situation. The practices of financial literacy concepts will change over time, which is why we’re presenting resources for all stages of life.”

According to Forbes, financial literacy in the U.S. has dropped to 48%, with many Americans only having basic financial education knowledge but not necessarily the financial acumen to apply that information and the least confidence when comprehending financial risk. The aim of National Financial Awareness Day is to bring awareness to learning about finances and building financial stability in preparation for a successful financial future. 

The webinars offered are part of Financial Wellness Wednesdays, an ongoing program hosted by SDCCU, to help provide the community access to free financial wellness information. Upcoming topics, dates and times can be found at sdccu.com/fww. For additional financial tips and resources, visit sdccu.com/blog.
