In early 1998, government agencies, consumer organizatios and financial industry groups throughout the Western Hemisphere launched the Facts on Saving and Investing Campaign. This ongoing, educational effort aims to motivate individuals to learn how to save and invest wisely.
The camnpaign slogan--Get the facts. It's your money. It's your future--captures why a solid grounding in financial fundamentalsmakes such a tremendous difference in the quality of life for any individual and any nation.
In the United States, numerous studies and surveys show that many Americans--especially young adults--fail to comprehend thje financioal basics. Many do not understand how our securities markets work, how to evaluate the risks and rewards of investment products and how to calculate what they need to save for retirement. Far too many individuals may needlessly struggle in retirement or never attai their other financial goals simply because they were never exposed to the financial facts of life. Some may suffer financial shocks and losses because they do not realize that our financial marklets can go down as well as up as we have seem in the last year.
