Last week, Oregon joined the 22 other states mandating a financial literacy course in high school to total 23 states nationwide. Nearly half of states are helping to build the financial skills young adults need before they leave the classroom. Could your state be next?


.@johncanzanobft Footnote to the #Pac12 collapse? How shortsighted were Apple and Amazon? Absolutely blame collusion by ESPN/Fox, but by also lowballing, the supposedly forward thinking tech giants squandered the potential to own CFB in the entire West and gave it to the networks


Unfortunately, scams happen everywhere. Oregonians are learning to be more vigilant today at #OregonScamJam in The Dalles, presented by an array of financial empowerment partners. Thank you to @ORDOJ @AARPOR @OregonDCBS @FTC @ORHumanServices and Wasco County Sheriff Lane McGill

It can be hard to get ahead financially, and even tougher when you don’t know how to start, where to start or even which direction to go. That’s why more leaders are embracing the imperative of #fined. It works! Learn about our @OregonTreasury efforts: oregon.gov/treasury/finan…

Do financial education programs affect financial knowledge and behaviors? Check out our issue brief with @NEFE_ORG showing that #FinEd improves both financial knowledge and financial behavior. Further, we see that financial education is cost-effective. bit.ly/3x9SYQD

Reducing financial stress is a powerful reason to bolster financial empowerment and promote savings. In the 2021 @FINRAFoundation survey, Oregonians were more likely than the national average to say they are "just getting by" financially. #financialsecurity #finlit

This post is unavailable.

More #financialsecurity and #financialinclusion helps every Oregonian. Under the leadership of @TreasurerRead, Treasury is highlighting and advancing financial capability statewide. Interested? The Financial Empowerment Advisory Team meets today oregon.gov/treasury/finan…

It's working! Understanding that retirement security was in jeopardy for an estimated 1 million workers (see what I did there?), @OregonTreasury led the nation with @ORSaves, allowing mostly first-time savers to set aside more than $150 million and counting #FinLit @TreasurerRead
